New Webspace for New Site?

[ThePokerBank]

Hey Guys, need a little help on this one...

I'm going to start a new site fairly soon, and I was wondering if its better to host the new site on the same space that I have my other site on, or should I buy new webspace and host it on that?

Not sure if I explained that overly well, but I think you might be able to get the idea of what I'm asking.

Where do you host your current site and are you happy with the hosting? If you are, then why change?

[ThePokerBank]

I'm really happy with the hosting. Its not that I am wanting to change services, I am wondering if I should set up 2 sites on my current webspace package, or if I should get a new one for a new site. i.e pay another $10 a month for a new deal and host my site on the seperate webspace.

I have a reseller account at my host that allows me to host multiple domains and websites on it while paying a flat monthly fee for it all. I'm sure your host offers the same type of account/package...so I mean if it's not broke, why fix it ya know?

I believe what she's asking is... is there any downfall seo wise using the same ip address etc...

I've heard there is, but haven't seen enough evidence to support that. If you have enough space and bandwidth I don't see a problem with it. You might think about getting a dedicated ip address, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

Pokerbank is a "he" not a "she".

I have also heard that different IPs is better but isn't that regarding the backlinks?

[Bryan]

LOL. Whooops.

Okay thanks. Yeah I was thinking about the links and seo of hosting two sites on same IP. Because if I am linking from my old site to the new one, surely the link won't have as much weight as if it was on a different IP. Afterall, Google would probably know that they are owned by the same person and give more weight to links to sites that link to the new site that could be owned by a different person/company.

And yeah, I'm a boy . I think the avatar is probably misleading.

[PPP]

Yes it is better to host very differently than an existing site, but it's not an enormous thing... unless you intend to interlink them heavily and have them share an IP. That would be unhelpful.

There are ways around it - my hosting setup gives me a combined web space and bandwidth allocation, however I can host up to 100 domains, all with seperate cpanels and can spread them accross 5 different servers / I.Ps in 4 different data centres.
