Experts of web hosting suggest their users to restrict hosting of website on multiple domains on similar server. It may look lucrative to purchase same server space for hosting many domains. The reason behind it is, the search engines view such companies as fake who try to link together in order to exploit search engines for higher rankings in search results.
