I mentioned earlier about how important it is to get quality web hosting for SEO purposes, and one of the other things I spoke about was spreading out your hosting. If you have multiple websites, you’ll want to make sure you have a good webhost and that you host your sites with different hosts in order to maximize the SEO potential.
I’ve tried a lot of different hosts over the years, and by far my favorite one has been through V7 Inc. V7’s web hosting plans come in three sizes: the V1, V2, and the V3. They range in price from $19.95 per month up to $79.95 per month. Best of all, you can pay with PayPal, and the customer service is outstanding. There’s even a referral program where you can get paid for referring other people to V7 Inc. How cool is that?

Speaking of web hosting, if you run a large website that is very resource intensive, you’ve likely already found out that shared hosting just won’t work for you. That means it’s time for dedicated web hosting. Dedicated web hosting is where you get your own web server, and have full control over it. This means, if you get a Linux server, you’ll get full root access, or in the case of a Windows-based computer you’ll have administrative access. You don’t actually own the server, but you get full use of it and can do with it what you please (as long as it doesn’t violate the host’s terms of service).
Dedicated web hosting comes in all shapes and sizes, and at varying price levels. The two main kinds of dedicated hosting are managed dedicated hosting, and unmanaged dedicated hosting. Managed dedicated hosting essentially means that your provider takes complete (or nearly complete) care of your server. Unmanaged dedicated servers come with less support and services.
If you’re looking for a good dedicated host, you might want to checkout ServerBeach. They offer several levels of dedicated hosting options, and have datacenters offered in the United States on the East Coast, West Coast, and in the central part of the country.

The company that you use to host your websites can significantly affect your site in terms of search engine optimization. How so? Well one of the most obvious is that when you host with a low-quality web host that overloads their servers, when the search engine bots make their way to your site, there is a high probability that it will experience slow connection speeds, or not even be able to access the site at all. When the search engine bots cannot access a page within a certain amount of time, they’ll move on to the next link, or worse yet, the next website.
Other factors that can come into play when you’re trying to optimize your site for the search engines are the IP numbers and Class C subnets associated with your hosting. By spreading out your websites over various IPs and Class C subnets, you’ll be able to effectively create your own network of sites that you can use to link to eachother, without the search bots detecting them as being on the same hosting account and devalueing them.
So instead of lumping all your sites on one server, with one host, spread them out. But before you go out and host with just anyone, do your research. Ask other webmasters about their experiences and recommendations, and check out web hosting reviews. Getting a good host is of the utmost importance, and can significantly impact your placement in search engines.
