: How to prevent anyone from knowing that some domains are in the same server? I am using some dedicated server with lots of different IPs. Some domains are put on different IPs. However, anyone

@Turnbaugh106

As @Simon_Hayer notes, there's no good way to prevent this entirely. However, if it's just a nameserver thing, you could create a new nameserver, ns.domaina.com (with the same IP address as ns1.myserver.com) and use that as domaina.com's nameserver. Again, this might not solve the main problem, but it will at least solve the "nameserver problem" you describe.

Users, google and other major search engines are able to detect finger prints from a variety of methods. Simply adding a dedicated IP is not enough, especially if the IP is provided by the same IP block chain.

To reduce the finger prints your site must use the following:


a different name server, or use one that is used by hundreds to thousands of customers, but note if you plan to increase sites the finger print may become more obvious when linking to one another.
a different c class or c/block IP address
a different associated Analyics ID i.e UA-XX123456-X
a different whois profile or hidden
anything unique to one site to another


It should also be noted that users and machines can access history and caching servers that will reveal previous used values and settings. So simply changing the changing a site after it has been cached, indexed and so forth might be a worthless task because people can access the previous information, for example:


Domain whois history
IP history
Site contents history via a caching service like wayback.
