Hosting and multiple ip's

Hello Christophe,

As to the exact value, well, nobody knows. But it's logic that Google will value more links comming from different locations, because there is a bigger chance that they are not from the same person.
It's a really complex question... should you have all your sites in a powerfull server, or have them scattered around? :/
Or having them in a webhoster that have different ip's blocks? Will it work? I don't know...

 

I still prefer to spread sites over different hosts completely.
Having a couple of reseller accounts on 2 or 3 different hosts, then if/when a site gains some traffic, move it to its own dedicated hosting account with unique IP.

Currently I have accounts with 3 different web hosts, some reseller, some standalone accounts.
Great for cross-linking as google are obviously completely oblivious.

 

I also prefer using different webhosters. I currently use 6

 

Will a different C class IP suffice or do I have to host my sites with different companies?

I took the second route, but having difficulties with the support at the new host. Thinking about moving to the host I've had luck with, but not sure what to ask for?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Some say it's sufficient, and others think that it's best to have them at different hosters. It's really hard to say. I decided to have them in multiple webhosters, because it's safer. But I put the better, quality sites, on the better hoster, so in the end of the day, I still have the problem.

 

ServerUnion I appreciate the reference to sprintserve. I recently combined 50 websites on 1 server in the same IP block and have seen a degredaded response from multiple search engines. We were about ready to go and look for a new host, and I believe you've pointed me in a good direction.

 

sounds good. I know sprintserve emailed me last week that they had a few SEO's join them from this thread. I am sure you will find the service up to the level you need. We moved to this new service a few months back and haven't had any connectivity issues...

 

We'll see what their pricing is like for dedicated servers.. If it's reasonable, I may make the move myself.. I'm rather fed up with AIT at the moment.. In 2 months, on just 1 dedicated server I've had 1 HD failure (lost the lot), 1 NIC card failure, waited 18hours for a sys reboot, and I've (get this) encountered a customer support person who actually thought Fedora was a windows based OS ?? On top of all this, I've had multiple telephone conversations with customer support where they give you conflicting info - in the end, I just decided they're a complete waste of space (a polite waste of space - always full of thankyou's and have a nice days, but WAY short on what matters.).

Cheers,

JL

 

ya, not having servers to worry about really takes a load off...

 

i use ixwebhosting.com they offer 16 ip address, what i do is i create one account every few days, like that i make sure the new domain will have a different class C than the others... sometimes it work, in my pack 16 ip address i have 3 C Block. They are not good compared with hostgator and rest, but i use them for IP addresses.
Hope this will help...

 

FYI - seowebhosting.net offers up to 6 different B Classes as well as over 300+ different class C's to choose from.
