The next global shortage...domain names?

[Ehsan]

Google penalizes sites that share IPs.

How come is that really true ? for example if i have a reseller and host all of my sites on that reseller whats wrong with going that ? do they want us to buy google branded ip's ?:-#:

When these domains share the same IP and crosslink with eachother, they rank lower in Google as Google sees that as an obvious farming technique.

I think i read that a few months back somewhere may be DNF ...... lets see what happens.... heres an idea start buying ip's and sell them when they run out

Maybe this thread I started;

Yea thats it DomainGenius it was your thread


So if i have like 15 sites i should pay like 3 bucks a month to have a separate ip for each of them , so thats like $45 a month for just a few of my sites :?: , i really think google is going over the Edge and the have started to abuse the position as number one search engine and started to take advantage they do that in adsense program , then link directories and then also these paid blogs posts , they are doing one step at a time

Problem with shared hosting, if one IP is blacklisted for spam, all customers hosted on that IP are affected as well.

True, but most people use the smtp server provided by their isp, so that normally isn't a problem. For the domains I host, I make my customers use their ISP's outgoing server. They could access & spam through the webmail, but my webmail program won't allow them to send a large amount of mail at once.

That would only make sense. But have they publicly announced that anywhere, or is there any proof they do it? I have 20-30 IP's available, was debating using aliased IPs on my servers to multiply the IPs the sites appear to be coming from, and/or adding nics for even more spread. Also, if so, I wonder if they go by range/subnet or just individual addresses, ie if the addresses are "too close".

Going back to the original point discussing the 'impact' of V6, the plain fact is that it will have no relevance at all to domain names as most of us know them. All the boffins are doing is adding two more 'most significant' bytes to the addressing scheme, something that is as simple to the programming community as a walk in the park is to a marathon runner.

This is no big deal at all other than providing more IP addresses. So the space will run from:

HEX: FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF
DEC: 255.255.255.255.255.255

If you do the maths, that's a LOAD more IP addresses. Should last until they realise they might as well have made it 8 bytes which would be enough to serve the earth and a colony on Mars.

Yes, that what it is but there are quite significant compatiblity issues between old and new. Pretty soon China and much of Asia will be swapping over to IP6, but because the US has hogged most of the IP4 space there is great reluctance to move over. Basically, that threatens to leave a major schism in the internet which has far more practical significance than adding punycode to the Root Zone, the much exaggerated problem for which has actually just proven to be a lot of hot air.

If the US continues to bury its head in the sand, it is likely to end up stuck in a time warp.
