Hosting Multiple Websites Within The Same Server Space

[maxcarnage]

Hi,

So, I have a client who wants to host two websites (which you could refer to as sister sites) on the same hosting account.

For some reason, I was under the impression that doing as much may be detrimental (for SEO purposes). Am I correct in thinking this? Can I get some back-up documentation or comments here? I look forward to hearing what you all have to say. Thanks for reading!

Hi there.

I've found no SEO problems in hosting many sites in the same hosting space.

Best Luck.

I've had the same as Gaston, no problem at all ranking websites from the same server.

I have also never had any problems. I run multiple websites on my servers that are not sisters, but actually twins. As long as the content is not recycled, it should not hurt your SEO.

It makes no difference, as long as they are viewed as separate accounts. If you have sites running out of directories of other sites then this can cause problems if the domain settings are not correct. Basically, make sure each account has its own Cpanel account, and you should be good to go. If they share the same IP address it makes no difference.

If you are super worried about this, then I would assign a separate IP address for each account if you have WHM access.
