VPS vs Dedicated

[Paullas]

Ok guys thought i would ask this question

what is best for doing mini sites, a VPS server or dedicated server.

what are the advantages / disadvantages of them both?

which one is best for a SE point of view for say 100 mini sites?

comments and tips welcome

If your looking at 100 minisites you could easily just use a shared hosting or reseller account, or even split it over 10 different hosting accounts (with different C class IP's) so you can benefit from some crosslinking....

can you make different c class ips with a vps server or dedicated

Not that i know of.

Hostgator offer SEO friendly hosting packages here: http://www.seohosting.com/hosting-plans.php

That depends on the provider.

SE point of view.. multple reseller accounts with different providers on different /24s would be best.

Some providers can even provide these over multiple /24s (class cs)

Yes - it's possible, but:

a) RIPE might not like it
b) assuming their routing & vlans have been setup correctly, it might be a bit tricky to do...

To be honest, it would probably be cheaper to get a VPS from Host A and a VPS from Host B... A VPS is probably more than you require, unless you're getting a lot of traffic etc.

I wouldn't worry too much about different class C addresses.

A - Nonsense
B - Easy enough.
C - Not worth the hassle for a few X links imo

A - Nonsense

Have you tried getting it past RIPE? I have...

A - Nonsense

Hah!

You're obviously not a RIPE member.
