Hosting is the make and break of PBNs. There are a handful of different hosting options you can choose from:
PBN.Hosting
We might be biased, but setting up your sites with PBN.Hosting is definitely the simplest and most effective way to go. We offer footprint-free PBN hosting on CDNs, spreading your sites across some of the web’s finest IP addresses and sharing with the best “real” sites out there.
The sites we host run super-fast, use beautiful WordPress themes, and update automatically to prevent hacking attempts. We also block bad bots and link spiders by default and our use of dynamic, constantly changing IPs makes it impossible to track the true owner of a domain.
Virtual Private Servers
VPSes host millions of high-quality websites on their servers and don’t require you to share the IP address with any other domains. They vary in price, but if you’re going for a cheaper provider, just make sure it’s been in business for a few years and isn’t likely to shut down while you need its services. The main issue with virtual private servers is that they are quite technical to manage.
Common Web Hosts
Using regular web hosts like GoDaddy, HostGator, Bluehost, etc. is another simple way to set up your PBN domains. However, you have to remember to use different platforms to host different sites to ensure there’s no footprint, which can make it annoying to keep track of everything.
Cloud Hosting
The final option is to use cloud hosting for your PBN domain. You can set up a site using Amazon S3 with Route 53 or Google Cloud.
What To Avoid When Hosting Your PBN
- Hosting multiple domains on the same IP or hiding IPs using services like Cloudflare etc. We know it’s a hassle setting up domains on different hosts – that’s why PBN.Hosting is such a great hosting solution. We don’t crowd sites onto the same IP addresses. Instead, we use dynamic IPs and top-tier CDNs to shield your sites’ true IP addresses.
- Using hosts in the same geographical locations.
- Using a regular SEO host: unlike PBN.Hosting, using most of these platforms means spreading your domains across multiple class C IPs that are shared with other PBNs, increasing your risk of being flagged by Google.
- Blocking crawlers using robots.txt etc. It might seem to make sense to block platforms like Majestic, Moz, and Ahrefs from crawling your website, but all this suggests to Google is that you have something to hide, raising suspicion and potentially triggering a manual review.
- Using the same Google Analytics/Search Console account. You’re literally showing Google the link between your PBN sites if you do this!
- Using the same registrar data for multiple domains.
- Having poor quality or spun content on your sites.
- Using a domain that has been previously penalized.
- Selling links or being vocal about owning a PBN.
Setting Up Your PBN
The next step in setting up your PBN is actually creating your sites. If you’re DIY-ing the entire PBN build, this is where you need to create individual sites for each domain in your network.
Alternatively, if you’re letting us do the hard work for you, we’ll automatically set up and launch WordPress sites for every domain in your PBN. Thanks to our speedy CDNs, our WordPress sites load in milliseconds, allowing Google to crawl your links like never before.
We also handle all the admin. We’ll choose good-looking themes at random from WordPress’s top 500, disable comments on posts, and automatically update your site and its plugins to protect you from hackers and spammers.
