I can't find a correct forum category, so I hope this a good location. My situation is nearly impossible to search on google, and is a little complicated to explain, but I am going to try my best. I am a web designer part-time, and aquired a new client. I am building approximately 100 websites for him. I purchased hosting on a shared platform.
The strange thing about this customer is that ALL of these websites will have the SAME EXACT content, just a different layout and different graphics. I hope I am allowed to post the website names, if not, I am sorry, and sure someone will delete this post or edited it, but I desperately need an accurate answer.... Here are 3 sample sites:
1.
http://www.newyorkcityindustrialboilers.com/
2.
http://www.industrialboilerservice.com/
3.
http://www.industrialboilerhelp.com/
If you see each of those sites, same content.
Now for my question... I have been doing research, and found out that if I use one hosting package, and add-on domain names for each website, search engines will actually affect me negatively since a) all the content is the same b) they all use add-on domains c) its on shared hosting.
If I use a reseller hosting account, I don't use add-on domains. They will all still be on ONE hosting account, but each domain name has their own control panel. Will search engine be negative or a strike against me? All websites will still have the same exact content, but not with add-on domains.
This is extremely important to me, I hope someone can help. If not help, maybe let me know where to ask this question.
Thanks guys!
