Seo Hosting Tips

Remember how it was in 'ye good ole times? You had a web site you wanted to rank in Google for a profitable keyword and all you had to do was getting a cheapo “host unlimited web sites hosting account”, build a lot of supporting sites and blogs on that account that linked all to your primary website and you were all set for a ranking on the first page of Google! Know what? These times are over! Google has learned of this trick and filters / values less the links that come from the same web hosting account / server (also called c-class) to one single web site! What to do now?

SEO Hosting seems to be the latest insider tip when it comes to optimizing your web site(s) for the search engines, but what is it actually? Is it worth to invest money in a special seo hosting service or not? And can you convert your current web hosting to seo hosting? (Hint: Scroll down to end of this hub to discover not one, but two, true insider tip!) But lets be patient and go one by one and try to lift the veil of marketing from this new phenomena called seo hosting.

Sounds nearly like a zen of hosting, but there are some points that major search engines take in account when it comes to ranking a website in the SERPentines. Some we can influence, like for how much longer a website name will be registered, others, like the age of the same website, we can't influence directly. But the Big G, Google, the most important search engine, takes in account also some less well known factors like from which servers most or all your links come from. Let me explain. When building niche web sites a lot of people rely on “host unlimited domains” offers of web hosts. But when you then inter-link these domains with each other, Google still “sees” that all these domains are hosted on the same server. Here is where seo hosting comes in. Despite the fact that all domains and web sites are hosted by the same person, your seo web host distributes them onto different servers providing so a wider range of ip and server addresses. No Google warning flags are raised anymore, because all domains and web sites are clustered on the same server. Therefor seo hosting is also referred to as “multiple ip hosting”. The most advanced of these seo hosting companies offer not only website hosting on different servers, but also in different geographic locations.

Imagine the seo benefit when you link to your primary business website from different server AND from different geographical locations! Your effort is now well spend and not wasted into Google filters. Big G and other major search engines think that all these sites are unique and independent and so the links in question carry a far higher weight and more “link juice”. Hosting interlinked web sites over several ip's and c-classes is a major seo secret of successful webmasters and make money online marketers!

How expensive is seo hosting?

Typically the cost of seo hosting depends on how many web sites you want to host on how many different server locations. As a rule of thumb it is cheaper hosting 100 websites in 5 different locations as hosting 100 web sites in 20 different locations. Which makes sense, as the admin effort is bigger. Remember, you, as the web site owner, should still have access to all your websites from one single admin / cpanel to keep your own admin work load to a minimum. In the ideal case, you want to have a different ip / c-class address for every web site you have, but that can be expensive. So perhaps it would be better to have different c class / ip addresses for each cluster of unrelated web sites. Just group your domains and web sites together, so that related web sites / domains are in different groups and then assign each of these groups a different c class hosting and ip-address.

Questions to ask before you sign up for a seo hosting account.

The most important question to ask would be how different the seo hosting is, both when it comes to the servers and to the geographical location. And how randomly your web sites are assigned to a hosting location. Additionally you want to know how you will administer all these different domains, preferred would be from one single admin user interface.

Cheaper alternative to seo hosting

Seo hosting can be expensive, especially when you are just starting out. Depending on your needs there might be a cheaper alternative to seo hosting if you just sign up for a few unlimited hosting accounts with different companies. Provided you choose wisely and the hosting companies are located in different countries or / and have their servers in different locations, you could then distribute your web sites over these locations (like outlined above) and reap on the benefits of this DIY-seo hosting. Something that requires a bit of planing, but that is perfectly feasible.

Super-duper-secret-insider tips:

Hostgator actually offers the possibility to assign to each single web site domain its very own ip-address for only 2$ per domain. If you only have a limited amount of domains this might be the solution for you if you are looking for seo optimized web hosting! Or you could use different sites like hubpages or infobarrel to write your own backlinks (see links in sidebar). All of these will be naturally hosted on completely different c-class servers and ip addresses as they ARE build and hosted on completely different sites. Seo hosting for free so to speak!
