      On a recent post in /r/SEO I mentioned that I used SEOHosting.com in the past, and it was met with several warnings that this could result in deindexation or penalization. I just wanted to know if there is anything to back this up.

      I did some digging on my own and it looks like some of the private blog networks that got shut down recently were using SEOHosting.com, and they were speculating (screenshot of pertinent parts included below) that this is how Google was able to track down their network and shut 'em down. But I've also heard a lot of speculation that the smartest way for Google to map out these networks would be to create tons of content, submit it all, and look for patterns - which has me wondering what role, if any, SEOHosting.com played in taking down the private blog networks earlier this month.

      Is using SEOHosting.com a legitimate concern?  Is it a threat even to websites that meet Google's quality guidelines?  Is it especially a threat to those that don't?

      Any thoughts you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

        Many SEO Hosting services use the same Domain Name Servers for their accounts and then you allocate a different Class C-IP once the sites are propogated.

        This means that there is a footprint to follow especially as the Search Engines have easy access to Whois and DNS information.

        You don't have to be a  genius to do a query to match the SEOHosting DNS information against a Whois Database to compile a list of sites for reviews.

          This.

          As for whether Google would penalize you simply for using a particular hosting provider, almost definitely not. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if Google keeps an eye on sites  that have way too many links from a single DNS server.
