      I set up my business site on a VPS and its working great. The site is doing well ranking for my keywords.

      I have another domain name that I was going to host on the VPS also. The site will be in a completely new business and there will be no overlapping keywords at all. A separate business altogether.

      Can someone tell me if adding another site to the VPS I have cause any SEO issues as the last thing I want to do is negatively effect my main business site

      Thanks in advance

        No there is no SEO issues with adding another domain to the same IP.

        A lot of shared hosting is hosted on one server from 1 domain to thousands domain. It will not effect SEO at all.

            John, yes, nothing to worry about it at all. As long as you are not interlinking the websites, it's just an IP address hosting multiple websites.

            You might want to consider adding a new IP (which would also be required if you will be installing a SSL certificate for this new website). A new IP is not required at all, but I usually like to if I have the option.
