Hey guys. I am currently working on my private blog network for a certain competitive niche. I have some domains and am buying some in the next time. Question is: How do you host them? They need to have different IPs/Servers? Is there a hosting company where I can host them all individually with different IPs?
What else do I need to know about blog networks?

Best wishes!

  • google about "seo hosting" you can find lots of hosting providers. Read the review about them then choose yours.

    • No. Do not use an SEO host. Buy multiple shared hosting plans instead.

      A lot.

      Privacy, content, linking patterns, preventing footprints, etc.

  • SEO Hosting do provide separate IP's for every domain but as Mike said hosting domains on the same shared hosting plan will make it more natural. So host few domains on separate IP and some on shared IP.

    We basicaly put all our sites on diffrenet IP and than hosted few more domains (not included in blog network) on the same IP to reduce the footprints.
    There are so many things you need to know to prevent it from DE-indexing from Google and getting out the best SEO benefit from it.

    The most important among it is reducing foot prints, you must not place the same links on all the domains of your networks. For example if you have W,X,Y,Z (4) domains in your blog network and want to optimize a site A, DO NOT put the links of A on all the W,X,Y,Z domains because when you will repeat it with another site B your all 4 domains will point out to the same site A and B which will make it easy enough to detect all the sites on your network.

    Another thing is to use Unique content on all your domains DO NOT use spun content. Spun content can leave enough footprints (N-Gram technique for search engines).

    Also mix links to your money site with authority sites in your content. While its just a beginning keep reading there is looooooooot to be learned about blog networks.

    • Shared vs SEO hosting has absolutely nothing to do with anything looking natural. SEO hosting is basically the same thing, just you are getting multiple IP's for a discounted price.

      No, the problem with SEO hosting is they are an easy target for Google.

      That is a completely unnecessary extra step. The nature of shared hosting is that there is already other sites hosted on the same IP. Sometimes a hundred or more. So there is no need for you to put additional sites on the IP to cover up anything.

  • Thank you for the information! Yes. How about this one then? SEO Hosting - SEO Web Hosting with cPanel and Multiple Class C IP Addresses

    • They are expensive. You can find multiple shared hosts for less money per IP than what they offer, but again, stay away from SEO hosting.
  • Let me clear this SEO Hosting misconception.
    SEO hosting is nothing different then regular shared hosting. Since when people host sites as network sites they are not meant to attract much traffic hence they don't consume either too much bandwidth or server resources (in most cases) ,hence they are sold cheap by webhosts by the name of SEO Hosting.

    They are exactly similar to regular shared host in terms of domains hosted on same ip or any other measure. Then why is it not a good idea to host your network domains at SEO hosts?

    Mainly because majority of the SEO networks are hosted on them and trust me majority of them are crap. So when google targets one , it plunders all of it without any exception and there are chance that your site might include as well.

    So , its better to host you network sites on regular hosts (you can get them very cheap nowadays) where most of the proper sites are hosted , for obvious reasons.
    Addon:Make your network sites look like real blogs or websites

    You can put many sites on the same IP.

    Example: I have 100 guest post sites divided in 25 broad niches. So that makes 4 sites per niche, so as each client website can get max 4 links from guest post sites then it makes no sense to put them on 100 different IP's, so I dedicated 4 shared hosting plans for these 100 sites.

    Other example I have 32 bookmark sites hosted on 16 IP's, simply cause clients would never get links from more then 16 sites (actually max 12) so same rule applies. No need to double the amount of hosts for nothing.

    If you have a lot of sites yourself that you need to rank and you don't want each site to have the exact same back link pattern then you can also host multiple sites per IP.

    • I agree with all of that. The OP was talking about 1 network for 1 site though I thought.

      Otherwise, yeah you can double up some sites on IP's, but just do not make those sites link to the same main sites. I do that all the time.

    Yeah I always read half of the stuff

    But hey, you can also build multiple sites to target a certain niche, I know guys with 100+ travel sites all focusing on the same destination.

    • I found a solution now. I have 3x PR4 domains and 2x PR5 which I am currently building to niche related sites in my niche.
      I am hosting those sites each on a different server. Just one domain on each of my friends hostings. Not a good permanent solution but for the beginning I think that'll work out.
  • Why not hosting with a Multiple IP Provider...? Not all SEO hosting companies are sitting targets. I know of a few good SEO hosting companies out there that have a lot of diversity. Besides why would you want to have so many different log ins when you can manage everything under one roof?
    • [1] reply
    • Yeah anyhow.

      (Listen to the guy with the SEO hosting links in his signature.)

  • - make the domain private by paying extra for Private Domain Registration
    - use different domain services (recommended)
    - use different hosting companies. Do not use the same IP, ever!
    - do not use the same themes, perhaps use different software other than wordpress. mix it up.
    - remember to always build backlinks to websites in your network. They need SEO'd too!
    - Treat your network like real websites. Post only high quality and unique content and build your brand. Try to get traffic to your network for it to be even more effective.

    I have over $10,000 invested in my network and I pay money all the time to keep them going. It ain't cheap!
    • [1] reply
    • Oh yeah, it cannot be cheap. Just that, it won't be 10x expensive if you have 10 sites, it would probably come to around 4x-6x because you can leverage *some* of the work.

  • is building blog network really expensive?
    • [3] replies
    • From the amount of hosting accounts required alone it sure sounds like it. Add on the cost of getting the domains, content, etc. But there most be something worth while about doing it that justifies the expense of it all
    • YES, between $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the size to get started and then there is hosting which renews each year depending on how you buy it. It seems cheaper in the long run though especially if you have a few sites to rank or you are going after a really good keyword that you can retire on

  • Dont use sEO hosting. Big scam and waste of money. One of the main reasons networks get destroyed.

    Thats the one thing I look for right away when buying a link service or buying links from a network. If they pride themselves on using "SEO hosting" I know they don't have a clue baout what they are doing.

  • I think the different IP address theory is just that, a theory. I have seen no evidence to back that up. But if it makes you feel better, you can buy dirt-cheap hosting on eBay for less than $10 per year per account. Before you do buy, look at the eBay buyer feedback and accept that some of the cheap hosting will be pretty unreliable.

    The other things you may wish to do are:

    1. Use a different theme and different plugins for each site (assuming you are using Wordpress)

    2. DO NOT CROSS-LINK the sites. Build some good links into each site from other sources.

    3. Go for quality rather than quantity. I'd much rather have 10 x PR3 sites than 100 x PR1s

    4. Radomise the posts on the home page so each site looks different from a text-footprint point of view. There's a great plugin that does that called Old Post Promoter. It is free.

    Good luck with your project.
  • Have you checked out Arctic Hosting? Arctic SEO Hosting - Reliable Web Hosting For SEO Professionals I've set up some smaller networks with them and have had pretty good results in the SERPs. Price was reasonable too.
  • I use a combination of shared hosting packages on:

    Godaddy, Hostagator and Bluehosts

    Each package has a different IP address.
    Each package hold multiple domains, but never 2 that are on the same network.

    I've not found one, however you can use 1 server with multiple IP addresses.
    (Someone may come along and give an example?)

    On the server and in DNS you can set each domain to a particular IP Address, some clever jiggery pokery by someone who understands setting up the DNS, WHM console etc on your server and you can manage it.

    Tough though.

    They can be expensive, with renewal, content, hosting etc, it all adds up.
    we use xMarkpro to manage it all.

    The rest of your answers are here, in this forum.

    Good luck.

    • Liked them. Only issue why we haven't gone with them yet is because we have a lot of reseller accounts and its kind of slow with Cpanel's WHM. Another new option is CMS commander (the only service even making a good attempt to move beyond Wordress to Drupal and Joomla too) but Xmarkpro is the only one where all you need is the original logins from your host and it will create the accounts from scratch from there no matter how many domains you add on. All the others you have to manually add a plugin.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • The thing about xMarkpro i like is the support.

    Matt's pretty well instant with fixes to any issues and you get regular updates. Plus as you say, any cpanel, pretty much single click install an entire site, content, images, links and all.

    Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, Custom sites, it matters not.
    Amazing, and cheap and it helps me a lot.
