Hey everybody..... I'm still on a search for what I need, and was hoping for some help from you guys here. Firstly - I'll say my question is about getting multiple unique IP addresses. I'm sure there will be many people gagging to tell me it's a waste of time and IP space and telling me I'm an idiot.... Please stay off this thread if so..... I don't wish to debate this. It's what my clients want, and so my hands are tied. Therefore it's a complete waste of time to debate the efficacy of it! Thanks I have about 100 sites and this is growing by about 50 per month. I need to keep hosting new sites yet keeping as much IP diversity as possible! All within a tight budget! So.... I need 1) reliable web hosting that isn't up and down every 5 minutes! 2) hosting across MANY different servers hopefully ending up with lots of unique IP addresses I'm interested in host9 and their reseller plan.... What's great about it is they have 6 different server locations and thus I can create 6 sites with completely unique IP's. I can later add more sites (maybe a month or so later) and then also have more sites on unique C or better IP's. This means that for the price I can ultimately host lots of sites, with diverse IP's, in diverse locations, for not much money, with a reasonably reliable host..... So.... my question is? Can anyone here please suggest other hosts that have a similar set up? I.E The ability to have lots of locations from just 1 reseller plan! Many Thanks!

Yes. No. There's nothing to debate. Your request is misplaced, and we're setting you straight. Educate the clients. Then give up this quest for a service that doesn't exist. What I foresee happening is some shady operation promising you everything you want, then giving you a crap server (or stealing your money altogether). I doubt it. Most worldwide hosts still have to use their own IP space. It's why, for example, I have a VPS in Dallas with IP space geoIP'd to Ireland. The internet doesn't work the way you think it does. That's not an accurate technical term. It's a misused term, mostly by self-proclaimed "gurus" and "marketers" -- aka non-techs, with zero understanding of the tools they're playing with. IP has been CIDR for almost 20 years now. There's no "A" or "C" or whatever. I'd like to buy a mansion and a yacht for $5, but that's also not realistic. This is the second time this has been explained to you. Take care.

Well thanks for the reply, and thanks for attempting to ruin the thread! I specifically and politely asked for it not to be ruined with this kind of debate. You clearly couldn't help yourself. I am not very knowledgable about hosting and IP adddreses etc. You clearly seem to be..... Well done you..... My question is a simple one about if anybody has a system similar to host9. You can highly doubt all you like, but I have hosting with them, have done for some time, and that IS how it works. Why don't you go and annoy someone else......

You're the one in the wrong here, and wasting resources and you're getting mad when someone is trying to politely educate you?

I'd have to agree with kpmedia on this one :\

I don't think any other providers have similar setup as Host9. It seems to be your only choice.
