Are Multiple C-class IP's Necessary For Minisites?

Recently I've been reading some conflicting things about SEO Hosting (having hosting on multiple C-class ip's). Some people say you need multiple c-class ip's if you make large numbers of autoblogs or minisites that follow a similar formula, because the search engines can delist or slap all your sites at once if they are on the same c-class ip. Other people say that this doesn't happen, that only single sites get slapped, not all of them.

So what's the scoop? Assuming these sites are not linking to each other, is there any need for multiple c-class ip's to protect from the search engines discovering all your sites?

    Many web hosting companies host a lot of different websites from one IP, so it's not really logical to penalize every website hosted from one IP.

    It sounds like complete nonsense.

    HTTP1.1 was implemented to allow multiple sites on the same IP (because HTTP1.0 was wasteful).

    Shared hosting will usually be on a single IP or for redundancy two (though nowadays this is usually done through load balancers where the upstream network does the failover). These will usually have tens of thousands of sites running on them and there is no way the whole lot would be penalised.....

    If, however, you are referring to hiding your footprint so you dont get 'discovered' then thats a completely different ballgame and is usually only done by questionable sites - something I dont see fit to comment on

      Thanks for the replies. That's basically what I figured. I read those things in some minisite/autoblogging courses, so I guess hiding footprints is the real issue, with the authors seeing the ip as another footprint.

      There is nothing really dodgy about the kind of sites I'm talking about, other than being autoblogs and having duplicate content. No viagra popups or stuff like that.
