Hi all, I have a website. I want to add another, but would like another IP. My host can sell my another, unique IP - I guess this is my solution? I want to trade links with 3rd party sites and not get "caught". I was researching this, and I found some threads/ articles mentioning that Google is matching WHOIS data - so that I actually have to register the new domain under another name. Anybody has some input on this?? Looking forward to your answers ;-) /jE
Firstly, make sure you don't just get another IP, get another IP on another class C, otherwise the advantages are dramatically reduced. e.g. if you IP address is 203 . 85 . 22 . 55 (for example) and make sure at the very least you web host gives you an address like 203 . 85 . xx . yy where xx is not like your old one (22) and yy can be anything. There is not conclusive proof about Google doing this, most of Google's tactics are hidden unless you happen to be in the group at google who know this stuff. But Google is officially a domain registrar, so technically it is possible they even have behind the scenes access to even protected whois information (although people have said this is not possible). Go get a unique class C IP address, and put the 2nd domain name in your mom's name Also note technically if you have the nameservers that is another footprint as well. Cheers Tim
