Bad News SEO Hosting Myth Revealed
There is a massive problem I have discovered for anyone involved in AM, IM or SEO and if you want the shortcut to the solution just click The Solution for those who need to understand it first then read on…
Most site owners are living in “cloud cuckoo land” and have no idea that Google sees exactly how they are trying to manipulate the SERPS.
It’s WORSE than that the fact that they get SEO hosting wrong actually shouts out to Google “hey look at me I’m cheating...” 
Shown here is ABSOLUTELY the WRONG WAY to host behind diverse Class C IPs (opens new window).
Many web site owners, internet marketers, affiliate marketers and SEO “specialists” set up what is known as “SEO Hosting”.
The reason they do this is that they need to hide each domain/site behind a different IP address…
Why?
Because it is pretty obvious to the search engines that it is highly likely that site1, site2 and site3, etc… are all related if they are all hosted on the same IP address (or more accurately Class C IP address).
What most SEO hosts offer is the ability to set up domains under one hosting account (easy to control) yet have each site appear to be behind diverse Class C IP addresses (like having unique phone numbers instead of all being the same)…
In principal this is a great idea and if that was all that was on show it would work fine… BUT… Read on….
The problem is that most of these hosts use the SAME DNS for each client!
So what does that mean?
It means that all Google has to do is look up the dns configuration and it can see EVERY domain associated with that DNS…
Get a “www.seohosting.com” account from HG for example and your dns will be dnsXXX.websitewelcome.com – the “XXX” is a number they assign you and which IDENTIFIES YOUR ACCOUNT !
It also means that any competitor can look you up and see your business strategy laid out before their very eyes!
Oops!!!
Let me show you what I mean…
Let’s take a famous Internet marketing “guru” such as Yannik Silver.
He owns a domain called “surefiremarketing.com” so all you have to do is lookup the dns for that domain which happens to be ns19.zoneedit.com so just click this link and you can see the whole 5508 domain empire behind that dns (including amember.com btw for those in the know!):
http://www.statsinfinity.com/nameserver/ns19.zoneedit.com
So before we go any further ask yourself this bad question:
How would you like Google or your competitors being able to look up all the domains you own?
Exactly! Now we all know the answer to that question before it’s even asked…
Those of you who are smart will change the Yannik dns for one of your own (or ALL of them!) and you will have just realised how exposed you really are…
So is there a solution and, if so, what is it?
The good news is that I have found a very smart hosting company that has a very elegant solution to this ubiquitous problem

My non Affiliate link: SEO Hosting
Why am I recommending them?
- They are hyper cheap for what they do – only $2.99 a Class C per month!
- They are probably the only solution to everyones problem at an affordable price.
What they do that is different is they give you a different dns for every Class C.
Not only that you get:
- A choice of countries
- Diverse RDNS
- One control panel to manage it all!
For this price ($2.99 per Class C for goodness sake!) it is a no brainer imho.
The normal rate for this kind of think without the xtra benefit of true anonymity is normally 2 or 3 times that!
So their solution works like this:
Bottom line?
If you think you are hiding your network from Google you are probably a victim of the myth that most SEO hosts want you to believe.
What you do about it is up to you!

Hi Roger
Thanks for that heads up I really appreciate is and have signed up (under your affiliate link of course)
Which countries do you think are best?
I have the 15 IP pack and I don’t want to waste it…
I would say use as diverse a mix of countries as possible as it gives a real user look to your sites.
Check the ping time for each IP you consider though so you get a nice fast server.
Open a command window and type ping followed by the IP address
Wow now you got me worried ! What if I just create a dns for each domain is that enough to hide it?
I sure am glad I read this post as I was just looking at signing up on webhostforseo.com ! Phwewee that was close I appreciate it been following your blog for a while
