is ok for multiple sites on same ip?...

[bens1901]

Hi,

I recently got a hosting package that allows me to have 15 web sites hosted. I can get a static unique IP for just my sites, as opposed to sharing an IP with the other sites on the shared hosting server.

I want to have about 3 sites that are related, but on a different topic. For example, I might have a topic like comedy. So one site would be comedy movies, another site for comedy books, and another site for comedy plays.

Here's my question: Since all 3 sites would mention "comedy" a lot, would linking all of them get me banned? What if I don't link them directly to each other, but get topic-oriented link exchanges? Would the 3 on the same host and same IP, but different linking be ok? Could all 3 do a link exchange with the same sites?

I know that we're all just speculating as to how the SE's might behave in different situations, but I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice that any of you may have.

Thanks.

-Ben

I don't think it will get you banned but the links may be weighed less than links coming from IPs different than the server IP (ir even any C-Block IPs).

I have 10 websites hosted on dedicated server, and have not had any problems. I would not recommend linking them together, and make sure you get lots of on topic links for each site. That should do it.

I just bought 2 other sites and plan to link them. They are all on a dedicated server and they have unique IP address. The site linked to whois information is private. Any risk here?

It's going to be like this

1. Our business is a children's boutique.
2. I'm building a seperate site for just gifts (it will share the same db with site #1.
3. I'm building a boutiuqe directory and of course will feature ours first.

I've already got the domains set up and was going to start to write code tonight. Any suggestions? I just need more traffic to site #1 and 2 and 3 are ideas to do it.
