What’s your take on “addon domains?” Does Google penalize someone for having one or more addon domains on their main website, (or if they’re self-hosting)? e.g. If you saw 2, 5, or 10 websites all coming from the same IP address, would that be bad?

Thinking The Same Way!!!!
hi if i have 5 different addon domain name completely different to each other, will it affect seo? Can they have all different traffic stats? or the only one will get traffic is the primary domain? how google will interpret that if i use only one hosting account?
i have a question to ask…..how do i send you an email….I apologize for asking such a dumb question but yes i am not very good with computers…Please help
Matt talks a lot without answering the question.
<<< Google can perform a bulk BAN on your domains.
That's very true, the best example for this, is: any hosting provider…. all hosting providers host their customer's websites on servers with a single shared IP, unless a few that require it for SSL purposes for example… and a server can host from 100 up to 1000 accounts, all them on just 1 or 2 shared IPs, so indeed, Google does not penalize it. BUT, the answer to that question was very useful, because if you have 400 domains with similar names, but they are not redirecting to a main one>>>
nice work
thanks
good video
In the final analysis, you just have ot focus on looking natural. Matt almost always doesn’t give a definite answer like exact numbers to inquiries. It always boils down to looking natural and quality contents.
I am no expert but after reading up on this topic tonight I can see this is off topic.
Also, one knowledgeable person mentioned that google will not penalize you if you don't have links between your domain and your addon domains.
Matt lost the thread….
mate, he was asking about SHARED HOSTING add-on domains u PLONKER!
Matt doesn't know what a add-on domain is! Wow… FAIL DUDE!
What about this one:
I have +20 related domains, I started developing few days ago.
Very the same niche.
But they have completely different and quality content, different template,.
The duplicate is in title, meta description of the sites.
Will they get penalty ?
@vxcriss That's correct. It's ok to have a few websites on the same IP range, but if you have 100 sites on the same IP range it's going to be a negative for SEO.
very good.
Matt, you really missed the point of the question. He wasn't asking about domain ALIASES, he was asking about multiple domains on the same IP address (ie, shared hosting).
The short answer is, NO, Google doesn't care if you have multiple sites that share the same IP address. While other considerations apply, the most significant issues you need to be concerned about is the quality or type of other sites sharing your IP and/or server, as this can cause your site either downtime or other issue
Some great information there! thanks so much!!! 🙂
Overcomplicated and overall bad answer.
Addon domains do not have to do anything with each other. And there is no restriction on the uniqueness (templates, styles, emails, etc) of each site if one of them is an addon.
The only difference is that the addon domain is managed under the one hosting account, instead of being spread out across multiple accounts. Although you can still have multiple accounts if you wish too, but all under the same CPanel, or other manager as well.
porn google!!
What about a plumber that registers 100 sites that are identical except for the "city, state" abbreviation. This guy has like 50 of these and the only difference is the color scheme and which community in the Pittsburgh Area his SEO company is targeting.
I agree with @TheVampirella
I too i'm in the same position in which I have one site and I create more sites via add on domains simply because of the price of hosting. All my add on domains are totally unrelated to each other and just span various interests of mine.
Would this affect any of the sites in any reason?
I think the person asking the question was really trying to ask the question in regards to "hosting" – meaning does google penalize sites for all being on one account or whether it is best to go with a reseller hosting plan. Basically is "adding on" domains to a single hosting plan is acceptable.
