Doorway pages and unique IP address

[gavin]

Hi,

I am interested in setting up several domains to host my doorway pages which would interlink amongst themselves. The two options I'm considering are.

1. Signing up with a host that will assign me my own single IP number and allow me to put as many domains on it as I want.

2. Sign up a new hosting account for each domain so that each domain would have it's own IP number.
These would all be under the same web hosting company.

3. Same as #2 above only each domain would have it's own IP AND be with a different hosting company so as to completely separate both physically by location and in terms of IP.

It would obviously be most cost effective to go with the first on one and host all the domains on one account and just pay one monthly fee. But if the SE's will penalize me for it then I would just cough up the extra money for separate IP's on each domain.

Thanks for any suggestion or ideas on this.

No problem running off one IP s'far as I know. Would be interesting to read some other postings in this regard.

I use separate hosts for each domain. In the event of technical problems you don't want all of your sites to be affected.
You are building your own link pop. I don't recommend interlinking every page.

Welcome to Wmw,

I use different IP's for each domain. I have never tried more than one domain per IP's so I can not coment if that would do well..

Anyone else got some input?

Three is best, two is much better than one. If you are doing stuff that you know is pushing the envelope with SEs do not cross breed the data. Make sure they are coming from different IPs, do not run duplicate content on either site, and if you cross link them mix it up with other domains so there is safety in numbers. Adopt a school of fish mentality, and that goes for DNS as well. Do not use a spam domain from the same IP as your content site. If you are using the same ISP try to get IPs that are not back to back, even if your ISP is doing name based hosting and you are sharing IPs with others it is much better for you to share an IP with moms-knitting-patterns.com and such than it is to have two domains on the same IP. Of course only half of what I say above matters if you are *not* pushing the envalope.
