Hosting several money sites on same server , good idea ?
Hey guys ,
I was just interested in your opinion on this, many people say that it is good idea to have different Hosts (or at least servers) for each money site to lower footprint , but some say it does not really matter if you host 10 sites on shared hosting among 100 or 1000 more.
What do you think about this ?
Is it better to get a good VPS with dedicated IP's for each site , or get a shared hosting for each money site.
Thanks!

I also am moving sites off Hostgator. Got hacked from an old template and all my sites were down for 4 days. They rarely even answered the ticket. Made me think twice. I had backups but if you can't get support to even answer that kind of stuff, it's not place to run a business.
Current trend is to use multiple hosts to avoid a footprint. I think the crowd is wrong (like they are with stocks, economic predictions, etc). Ron has such a strong point it's really hard to argue. I believe when sites are all on the same host, Google has other things to go on to ban a set of sites and not an IP range for exactly what he's saying.
You can lookup your hosts IP and see the other sites on the shared plan.
Sometimes there's over 100 other sites! No way Google will ban the IP and screw everything unless they manually look at what they think is a collection of sites owned by a single entity and ban or penalize based on other criteria than a shared host.
Ron makes valid points, but at least when I ran my own tests (6 months or so ago), those were the results I got.
Given an IP is like $2 a month however, and a money-site is by nature making money, it rather makes sense to just plop down the extra $2.
Full-PBN level obfuscation/Seperate Ip ranges etc, dont seem to be necessary. So Rons right in that regard.
thanks
you should definitely try to host on different hosts. especially when you are using your blog network to promote your sites. it's a major footprint if all outgoing links are going to the same host. even if there are maybe thousands of other sites on that host, it's still a BIG footprint.
when you are targeting the same keywords with your sites you will get shitty/strange results when you are hosting all your sites on the same host/ip.
most affiliate sites are a violation of google's tos on its own. so hosting all your stuff with the same host will just make it easier for google to take it down.
But if everything is ok their support is excellent, they solve any problem within a minutes via chat.
Have you tried solidseo as a hosting platform ? I am using their VPS for hosting some of my sites, and all I can say they are really good and never had any problems with them.
You may try also the OVH but they have unmanaged solutions so if you are not experienced with Linux - rather stay away from them cos you should do a lot of tweaks before everything will works as you want, but they are budget solution to consider, and quite fast as well.
1. Check for other FQDNs using the same SSL hostname (if you use Cloudflare, AWS or have SSL installed): https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html
2. Reverse lookup Adsense, Clickbank or Adwords ID , i.e. a shared account: http://sameid.net/
3. http://who.is Domain History - free domain history for the life of the domain, kind of like archive.org for domain ownership
4. Check the Terms and Conditions to look for a company name. Quite often this is the only place they'll list it. If you're in the UK then head over to www.companycheck.co.uk and see where they live
Maybe 75% of the time I can find out the 'real' ownership using this alone. There are a few others too but maybe I'll share them later.
