Two sites in related niches, same whois, same server

I have several sites on my shared server.

I'm planning to add another site, which is of similar niche to my popular blog that's doing good in SERPs. All sites have same whois, server, IP, and analytics ID and email.

Say Site A is about "Blogging, SEO, and also a little bit of WordPress".


Site B is about WordPress tutorials and WP product themes review.

I will make sure that the content remains unique on both the sites. However, some product reviews may repeat but unique (same keywords).

Planning to do more manual link building on site B. (Not linking each other)

Say, those sites share 10% of the common keywords, but unique content. Same whois, same shared server. Should I be completely unique in terms of keywords?

Can it in any ways affect SEO of my sites?

    The server IP would only matter if you were trying to cross-link the sites. As long as you're not doing that than the same server doesn't matter.

    If you will try to cross-link the sites they you'll gonna have trouble with server IP.

    But if you don't have a plan in doing such thing then having the same server does not matter at all.

    As others have said, just don't cross link the sites. If you do, be legit about it. "On my other site :link:" If on site A you're Jim, and on site B you're Bob, and the site is on the same IP, google might completely devalue the link, or it might not. It's hard to say.

    Generally speaking, it won't have much seo benefit but it's fine.

    Some hosts have 100k sites on one IP. Check cloudflare. I don't think IPs matter as much as they used to, but it probably does require google to whitelist the IP, which if you're not cloudflare or some other massive CDN, that's not going to happen.

    This wouldn't be that hard to test, build a site up, then link it from one site to a brand new site, if the brand new site ranks on a super low competition keyword, then it works. If there's no change on the brand new site, then IPs matter. Most SEOs feel IPs matter, I doubt many have actually tested it. I'm still oldschool and think IPs matter, but I've never tested it. IPs are cheap, I don't pay more than 2$ a month for a unique IP. Usually 1$.

    If you're concerned about this, then get more IPs.

    Dont try to build links within the sites on the same IP!
    That will get you penalised as its a major signal of PBNs.
    However if you just want to have several sites of the same niche with different content. then you are good.
