Non SEO hosts for highPR network

11 years ago

Head over to webhostingtalk.com forum and have a look in the 'shared hosts' bit of the 'web hosting offers' section.

There are loads of decent cheap hosts there and a lot of them offer discounts through that particular forum.

Thanks

Yes, head over there, you'll get many choices with promotion but make sure to search for review on the web as well as the inside of the forum to make sure that they are reputable.

Thanks

Yep, definitely do this. Will only end up costing you $25-30 a year. Make sure that you choose hosts with recurring lifetime discounts.

However, the downside to this is that you will have to manage multiple accounts and the cost will be about the same as A Class hosting. If you have a small network then it's no problem. Then again, if you ever decide to expand your network it can become a headache.

While many small hosting companies provide quality shared hosting, there are still those that have terrible support and unacceptable downtimes (which can result in your site being deindexed).

On the other hand, your IP diversity will be very good.

As always, you have to look at both the pros and the cons.

Thanks everyone.

I just had a quick look and some hosts that will only be $25-$35 per year will be perfect. It makes it just as cheap as those SEO hosts that charge $2-3 per c class.

I assume if I go with different companies for each site in my network I will get a different C-class automatically is that right?

Or could I find that even though they are 2 different companies I might have the same C-Class for 2 of my sites because they are just reseller accounts or something?

Thanks

Hi Craig B.

I think you may have answered my questions regarding IP diversity above. I think we wrote our posts about the same time!

I know the uptime can be horrid and its a case of "buyer beware" and I guess you just have to look for reviews and if you can't find any then try them per month and ditch them if no good.

I kind of think we are being forced into it with Google's changes. I have been with SEO hosts for past networks and even though they had lots of way to disguise the fact it was SEO hosting I have still never found an SEO hosting where there wasn't some footprint when doing reverse lookups etc.

Some people have been lucky and not got caught with SEO hosting but I think it is just a matter of time before Google catches on and I think this is a necessary evil.

The different accounts don't bother me. A nice Excel spreadsheet with all the details in one place will take care of that.

Thanks

Yes, reviews will narrow it down, but you can still run into some bad apples. Also, the month thing doesn't always work. I've had hosting companies that had technical difficulties and significant downtimes after several months of service. Although, this obviously applies to SEO hosts as well.

I completely agree with you here when it comes to companies that deal only with SEO hosting. They do seem like an easy target in the near future.

That is why I recommend (if you want to go the SEO hosting route) in dealing with companies that provide multiple services (shared, reseller, VPS, and dedicated services in addition to SEO hosting). That makes it more difficult for the Big G to target.

Yes, that works just fine with a smaller or even a decent sized network. It's when you have a large network that dealing with so many different hosting companies can become cumbersome.

Although, you could use a combination of different shared hosting companies and A Class hosting if you expand into a large network.

Another thing I forgot to mention, I've had some bad experiences with the smaller hosting companies when it comes to billing. The most common problem is that some simply won't stop charging you when you cancel the service. I've also been charged twice on a few occasions. Once again, this is not a major problem if you have a smaller network.

You should take a look at reseller hostings, often they come with multiple IP's. Hostnine is one of them.

I use a combo of shared hostings, reseller hostings and A-class hosting providers myself.

Take a look at webhostingtalk forum's shared hosting offers section, you can find plenty of cheap shared hosts there. For instance checkout Our Linux Hosting Plans | IX Web Hosting their unlimited pro offer gives you 15 dedicated IPs. Too good to be true, i guess.

Thanks Oranges but 15 dedicated IPs on the one account is going back to SEO style hosting which is what I want to avoid. Shared hosting is better as well to "blend in" when it comes to the Big G.

I have checked out Web hosting talk and I'll contact some of their providers. Great suggestion.

Any reputable warriors offer cheap hosting?

Thanks

Hostdeal.com was offering a WSO few months back and I believe they still offering it. I purchased it 4-5 months back and so far it's going well. You can contact them and ask for the WSO if they have still.

Another trick to find good deal in Web hosting talk

- Sort the threads based on the number of thread replies. That way, you can find the reputable seller and also avoid bad hosting. If service is good, people usually post them and same for bad service :-)

I have few accounts which I bought from Web hosting talk and so far all are going fine.

Chandan

I don't see how that would be a problem.

The reason to stay away from SEO hosts is not because of the number of IPs they offer under one account. It is because they advertise themselves as an SEO host. The only reason most people use an SEO host is for a private network. All Google has to do is signup to find all the IPs and then they can manually review each site on the IPs. I have seen evidence of this happening. One SEO host I was with a few years ago had 80-90% deindex rates on several of their IPs.

Nah, spreadsheet works fine. I have somewhere over 65 hosting accounts right now. Easy to manage. Just make sure you do a couple of things and it drastically cuts the workload... Signup for 12 months or more at a time (don't have to worry about constant invoicing). Use subscription payments with any host that offers it. Then you don't have to worry about any missed payments that causes a hosting account to go down. And lastly, just put everything on the spreadsheet: logins, nameservers, IP address, subscription dates, monthly or yearly cost, etc.
