Cost effective ways to create sites with different ip addresses

I'm looking to create a bunch of niche focused sites to use for links into other websites.

My hosting account can have unlimited add-on domains but I'd like the new sites to have other ip addresses (to improve link quality when they all link to the same site) as cost effectively as possible and I'd want to use my own domain name since there will be a lot of links built into them.

A couple that I've seen are..

Wordpress.com - $12/year to do domain mapping with your own url & they host

Blogger.com - free to use your own url (if you've registered it)

Is this a reasonable plan? Ideally I'd like to have about a dozen different hosts and I don't want to have to pay $5/month/domain or whatever the cost would be with the SEO hosting plans which allow for multiple different ip addresses.

Does anyone know any other good options, or should I just stop being cheap?

    just found weebly (not able to post url's yet).
    The hosting/setup is free and you can use your own domain name for free as well

      What do you mean by "not able to post url's yet?"

        I couldn't put the url yet of the site because I'm a new member

        I'll definitely do that and weed through them, but the main thing is that I want to be able to use my own url and not a subdomain of their url. most of the free hosts seem to not offer that and I was hoping maybe someone had a list of quality ones that they'd be kind enough to share

        When I do search through and find a bunch though I'll definitely post them here

          Say, I recently stumbled across DotEasy.com and I was able to buy a domain name AND host it for something like $7/year! I was wondering what's the catch, but I built two sites and uploaded them and it seem's they have a full feature hosting set. I'm still looking for the gotcha. Sure can't beat the price for low-volume sites.

    You gotta pay to play. But why are you worried about different IPs? Are you planning on linking them together?

      That sounds like what I'm looking for, thanks bill!

      I wasn't planning on linking them together. They'll all be micro niche sites linking back to a couple main, broader focused sites which are on different hosts already. Just want to make sure google views them as separate sources (I know it might only slightly depreciate from the link value now if they were on the same IP, but I'm guessing Google gets strict very soon).

        There's no boost to any linking.

        If you think there is, then why would you pay?

        You can make free sites from wordpress, blogger, squidoo, etc. and,
        get this, they would all have a different IP. Now that's cheap.

        If you are looking to try and do something fishy by having multiple
        sites across different IPs, forget it.

        The only real reason to have your sites spread around, is to
        keep from having a bad host shut you down or get shut down,
        or the host having some major problems.

          What's the boost to linking referring to?

          I realize there's likely no additional benefit from an seo perspective for me to use my own URL as opposed to a subdomain if that's what you mean, but if there's going to be a lot of links going to the domains then I feel it's better to build the value of the URL (for if someone wants to buy it in the distant future). An anual fee for a domain is nothing. I just don't want to pay an extra $60/domain/year to host them.

          Thanks Rev. I know it's a lot of additional work but this will be a long term project and I'm down for it.

        Well there's really a lot to it when trying to create a network that Google would see as different sources. Chances are its not even worth your time as its 1. Expensive 2. Confusing (for most people0 3. Time consuming

        I'd recommend finding other ways to get links, it will be better worth your time.

    In that case go for it. Words of advice to build a legitimate network.
    1. Use different domain registrars with private info
    2. Host them on different hosts, and not all on the same IP address
    3. Don't leave a foot print of links, meaning dont have the same sidebar blogroll on each site.
    4. Different unique content on all sites
    5. No Google footprints (don't register your sites on the same webmaster tools, analytics etc.

    That's a good start and will generally keep you safe if you stick to those, there are even more things you can do to reduce your footprint as well.

      Thanks a lot Rev, the help is greatly appreciated.

      Looks like quite the network you're building yourself. I'm excited to see it running.

      You mean the "private registration" that hides your personal info from the public? Does Google not see this info?

      Is this a method you can use instead of finding a bunch of friends (or hire people I suppose) to register a site under each of their names? Does each method accomplish the same thing? If so, private registration at $10/year is cleaner, simpler, for sure!

      What say you?
