If I were building a network of sites, how many would you guys say I can put up on a VPS or a dedicated server before I have to start getting more IPs? Talking strictly Google SEO here...

I wouldn't want to push out 50 sites only to have them all get hammered by Google at once because they were together on the same server. At the same time, though, having them each on their own shared hosting plan is just too damn expensive. Should I mix in some whitehat family-friendly sites to make it all appear more diverse?

Any opinions from others who have hosted many sites of... ill repute... on the same server?
 


Well, if you have some cash - go with softlayer dedicated and it's $2/mo for 4 extra ips.
 
Do your domains all have the same info in the WHOIS? Same DNS too?

Google is an ICANN-accredited registrar. They have full, direct access to WHOIS.

The class C IP stuff is from patents that went public *years* ago, which means they were doing it *years* before they made it to that stage of patent publication. Old stuff, Google's smarter than this now, it's a waste of limited IPv4 IP space.
 
I personally run 2 vps + 2 shared ... 10 IPs total on 4 different c blocks.

Most dns information is the domain itself, I just point the IP addresses. I'll be buying more IPs soon.

I don't buy into the whois privacy thing, there are a million footprints (affiliate id, adsense id, tracking, whois, dns, ip addresses, template, etc) to really be effective for covering everything unless you're a total control freak ... then you have bigger problems.

I've never had issues with bans, however, the darkest my sites get are about as grey as the background my avatar sits on. Different marketing plans (bh/wh stuff) will call for different criteria of hiding your information. That's totally understandable.

For my sites, I don't really think google cares that I have 80+ domains. They don't intend to exclude internet developers from the SERPs.

I'll post back here when my empire comes crumbling down
