SEO Hosting
June 23 2009
Have you ever seen or heard the term “SEO hosting“? It’s not a very well-known term outside the SEO circles but some people believe deeply in it, including me. Nobody except the Google engineers and programmers know for sure if it works but by my own trials and tests I’d say it definitely has a fairly large effect. In fact, this site you’re on right now is hosted on SEO hosting and the week I moved it over to this hosting setup the site shot up in the rankings for various search terms.
The main idea with SEO hosting is that it enables you to get links from other sites you own. So if you own, say, 50 sites and all 50 of those sites link to a selected website it’s great for SEO, right? Well, many people in SEO think that Google takes into consideration the C-Class IP the sites are hosted on and if they are all hosted on the same IP Google takes that into consideration and either discounts the links or possibly even penalizes you in cases where there are large link networks going on.
This idea, or paranoia, depending on whom you ask, has spawned what we now call “SEO Hosting”. It’s a bit more expensive than the normal flavor of hosting that many of us are used to but depending on your needs it may just be worth it.
