Lets says I have host my sight on BlueHost, and through this one server, I host more than one website.. is this okay in the eyes of google?

Lets take a scenario to paint the picture a little more:

You have 4 sites on the same server, and one of those sites gets hit by a Google Algo update... will all of the sites get hit since they are hosted on the same server? Just thinking that if Google doesn't like you, why would they like the rest of your sites.

thanks!

    No, they will close the internet.

    Of course it's ok - the only instance where you increase the probability of something being perceived as untoward, is when you actually do something untoward. There's nothing wrong with hosting two sites through the same shared hosting account, just don't go mental.

    I'm sure people will tell you not to interlink etc but again, providing you are doing this for reasonable purposes i.e. to divert traffic between different services, again not an issue - see maps.google.com, news.google.com etc.

    As Gareth said it is not a problem. I will be one to chime in and say the only possible way you may face an issue that I know of is if you overly interlink between the sites.
