Dedicated IP's

[MDA]

Does anybody know what's a good price for a dedicated US ip?

Godaddy offers them for $3 per month. Is there a better price out there?

Also is it possible to buy dedicate IP's from one hosting provider and use them with another?

I need about 200 dedicated US IP's. Do you think buying this many would qualify me for a discount? And is it possible for a single hosting company to provide IP's from more than one class?

Thanks in advance.

Number one, you're simply not going to find a host who is willing to give 200 IPs out to you for such a cheap price. IPs do cost and each and everyone has to have a justifiable use.

Number two, we need to clear up this urban legend that you need IPs on different class C blocks to have SEO. This is nonsense. With all due respect, I see some scary information in this thread.

You don't need 200 different IPs.

Ultimately it's impossible to tell for certain whether hosting on different C class IP's makes a difference, since nobody knows how google works but google.

But I do see evidence that it might help search engine placement, and since search engine marketing is a vital part of my company's strategy, all I can do is cover all the bases.

I'm not trying to convince anyone that different C class hosting is a good idea, since I myself don't believe that to be the case in most circumstances. I'm simply trying to get some hosting suggestions for my project.

I'm just trying to save you so money and time here. Number one, you're not going to find anyone here that will truly sell you 200 IPs. You cannot just purchase IPs from one provider and use them at another. I'm a bit ashamed of some of the posts made in this thread to be perfectly honest. Each one of these IPs have to be justified for use and you're not getting 200 IPs because you want a different IP for each site.

I'm just trying to dispell this ongoing rumor that each site needs its own IP. I can see wanting to split them up, but I cannot see 200 different IPs by any stretch of the imagination. Google doesn't just rely on IP numbers in its site placement for that matter.

I'm not trying to be rude, I just don't like to see people fall victim to rumors and hosts that just want to make a buck.

We have a reseller over at fdc who we have worked with for over a year, he gives unlimited free ip's as long as you have a need for them, and if you request the ip's at different times you will get blocks of ip's in different areas.

He also gives great prices and we yet to have had any problems with any of our servers with him, you can PM me for his contact information if you wish.

I was about to recommend that also, it's the only DC that allows that

If you need 200 IP's you are going to need VPS or dedicated plan, I presume, to host all the sites within one or a few plans?

No, that's not the usual practice, IP's are bought either from your host or from organizations like RIPE.net.
If you buy IP's from the third-party organizations like RIPE, make sure your host will be able to set them up.
Look at semi-dedicated plans from webhostingbuzz.com, you can contact thehost to inquire about the number of IP's you need.

Also myriadnetwork.com VPS will allow to to host 200 sites

The smallest allocation a RIR, such as RIPE, will allocate is a /21 (2048 addresses, ~8 class C) and to keep the routing table sizes down they will allocate you a continuous block. So you probably will be wasting your time looking for a Direct Allocation.

If your still set on this, call a local DC and see if you can get a /24 if you get a half rack.

Plus ARIN has rules on how they give out ip's . You have to need them, and they can also take them back if they see they are not used as they see proper. Which makes me wonder how hostgator does this SEO hosting.

What you can do is get shared hosting accounts at 200 shared hosts.

What's the point? All the IPs are going to be shared, which is exactly what he doesn't want.

Oops. I guess I missed the dedicated part
