SEO Web Hosting Resellers Accounts

By Neal Walters

What is the role of Class-C IP address in "SEO Web Hosting"? When optimizing your sites for the search engines, most SEO experts focus on building a large number of backlinks. Most experts believe that these links should be from diverse geographical locations.

There is typically concern that the major search engines discount links that come from the same IP Address. Put simply, an IP Address is a unique identify number for each website. A typical address might look like this: 216.54.99.123 (four numbers that each range from 0 to 255). In techie terms, each of the four numbers is sometimes called an "octet".

Your web hosting company assigns a unique IP address to your website when you set it up. But when you have many accounts at the same hosting company, the first part of your IP address is often the same, for example: 202.54.97.1, 202.54.97.100, and 202.54.97.200. You can to make sure the first two or three numbers in the IP address are different.

You really don't need to understand all the nitty-gritty details about Class-C IP address. Just be sure that your sites that link to the same "money-site" come from DIFFERENT class-c addresses. Your goal is to make them look like they are coming from different websites, probably owned by different people. Geographical diversity is often used to achieve this.

One way to get diverse IP addresses is to actually put your websites on different hosts. This can be expensive if you have a few sites, but if you have dozens of websites, you can "stack them", or build hubs. Each hub would have a diverse group of IP addresses.

Thus, internet marketers who are creating a large number of SEO websites will almost always use reseller hosting. Even if they don't "resell" hosting to other people, they can setup as many domains as desired for themselves. Each account will get it's own IP address, userid, and password, and can be administered separately using the standard control panel (CPanel).

One expensive alternative is SEOHosting.com. For about $5 to $7/month, you can easily put every website on a totally unique class-C IP address. That company provides WHM and CPanel as normal with unix-based hosting for PHP and MySQL.

Recently, I stumbled upon the website in the resource box below. They offer reseller hosting with a special control panel for resellers. It allows the reseller to assign the website to one of 10 locations. Each location is geographically diverse, and does have a unique Class-C IP address.
