Multiple Sites on same IP address

We manage 6 websites for a client. One main ecommerce site and 5 small sites that are informative and have links to shop and the main site. The 5 sites are name brands that are owned by our group.

Now they are currently on a dedicated server with the same IP address. Is there any benefit putting these domains on seperate IPs? I have heard conflicting reports. I trust the Warrior Forum to have the right answer.

    Do you have them linked together or is it just a shared IP?

    The main site is not linked to the 5 brand sites. The brand sites each point links to the main site. The brand sites do not link to each other.

    Aharing a server is a totally acceptable practice, just assume interlinking the sites will have no more seo value than internal links wthin a single site. If you had 100s of other backlinks, those 5 more would not have that much effect.

    No benefits to put sites on different IP's Shared hosting providers normally keep 500-2000 sites within one IP address and many of these sites could be on top of SERP

    I've heard that shared hosting works well for regular sites, but it can be a big problem with auto-blogs. I would really like to hear from more people on this.

      From what I've heard, building backlinks between sites on the same IP address will have absolutely no effect. Google seems to differentiate sites for ranking by IP, not domain.

        I think you would need to be careful about having too many sites on the same ip if you were running a massive blog farm for backlinks.

        However I'm not sure if it would matter in your case, unless a large part of you're backlinking strategy involves interlinking these sites (assuming you have a backlinking strategy).

            Most of what I've read seems to indicate that backlinks from domains on the same IP as yours are still beneficial but may very well be devalued to some unknown degree. I guess that makes some sense.

    This is a debatable topic in SEO since different webmasters have different opinions. There is not any absolute information that a website hosted in shared IP will perform better than in dedicated IP or vice versa. However, according to personal experience dedicated IP gives more privileges than shared IP, and regarding to SERP dedicated IP is recommended. If you are rely on shared IP address then you need to make sure that other website on same IP address are not so controversial.

    Putting these domain will be beneficial, Now suppose if any one of your site is facing a problem and persists and that might lead to ip ban so that will affect your other sites because of problem in one site. So having different ip is recommended.
