So my head is hurting quite a lot at the moment with this seohosting thing and would really appreciate some WF help. I signed up for an account with www.seohosting.com (run by hostgator) about a month ago just to test a few things out. My main reason is i know for a fact that google doesn’t like you having lots of domains in the same niche as I have experienced it first hand. Also I want to do some funky link building between a few of my sites and want to keep them as separate its possible to do.
So as we know seohosting gives you the ability to host sites on a different IP, this bit is simple. But when I setup realised that i really need to be using custom nameservers for each domain because if i use the ones SEOhosting give me
sns959.websitewelcome.com
sns960.websitewelcome.com
to use on all of my sites then to me atleast its pretty obvious that all the sites are related right? I mean unless there’s 10000s of sites using these exact same nameservers it gives the game away even if they resolve to a different IP address?
Now while it is possible to setup custom nameservers on seohosting and your register it does seem like a complete pain as you gotta create A records and DNS zones etc and I usually mess it up. But the thing is that when I ask SEOhosting about it they tell me I don’t need to be using custom nameservers and they don’t understand why I’m doing it, ie check out the below (which i don’t really understand)

Thing is they are also telling me to setup the same NS2 as a backup for all my sites (i have limited IPs), and i like WTF are google not capabile of reading the second NS2 and seeing that they are all the same? The feeling im getting at the moment is that while they might be selling this service and it works (if you know what your doing) they don’t really understand what it is, especially when they start giving out SEO advice, am I wrong here?The IP's used on the domains themselves does not affect SEO rankings, it's which IP the domains themselves actually resolve to. Nameservers have to be setup on seperate IP's to be within RFC compliance, but if you have a number of domains all using the same IP's for their Nameservers this isn't a problem, it's the A records for each domain that affect the SEO side of things.
