No. ASEOHosting does not hand out consecutive IP addresses. Every hosting or server package is assigned IPs that differ in their Class C and Class D ranges, so the addresses you receive are spread across the network rather than sitting next to each other in a single block. As a quick illustration, a typical pairing looks like this: 1st IP xx.xx.75.12 and 2nd IP xx.xx.78.38. Notice the third octet changes (75 versus 78), which means the two addresses fall in different Class C ranges instead of being sequential neighbours.

What "consecutive" would mean, and why it matters

Consecutive IPs are addresses that follow each other in order, such as 192.0.2.10, 192.0.2.11, 192.0.2.12. They share the same first three octets, so they all live inside one Class C range. When a network of sites is built on a tight, sequential block like that, the addresses form an obvious pattern. Anyone examining the footprint can see that the sites cluster in one small corner of address space, which is exactly the kind of shared characteristic that makes a group of sites look related.

ASEOHosting takes the opposite approach. Because each address you are allocated sits in a different Class C (and a different Class D), your sites do not share that third octet, and they do not line up as an unbroken run of numbers. That is the practical meaning of the answer above: the IPs are diverse by design, not consecutive.

Consecutive block (one Class C) 192.0.2.10 192.0.2.11 192.0.2.12 Same third octet, one range Diverse (different Class C each) xx.xx.75.12 xx.xx.78.38 xx.xx.91.07 Third octet varies, spread out

Class C and Class D, in plain terms

An IPv4 address is four numbers separated by dots. When the third number (the third octet) differs between two addresses, they belong to different Class C ranges. When ASEOHosting refers to a different Class D as well, it means the fourth octet differs too, so no two of your addresses share the same tail. Historically the terms Class A through Class E described how the address space was carved up; the practice today is classless routing, but "Class C" remains the common shorthand in SEO hosting for "shares the same first three octets."

An honest note on what this does and does not do

Diverse, non-consecutive IPs are not a positive ranking signal on their own. A search engine does not reward a site for having an uncommon IP. The value is defensive and organisational:

  • Neighbour reputation. Placing sites on separate Class C ranges reduces the chance that one site's problems bleed into others that happen to sit in the same block.
  • Footprint control. For agencies and operators running many properties, spreading addresses out avoids the tidy, sequential pattern that makes a network trivially easy to map from the outside.

None of this substitutes for genuinely independent, quality sites. If your properties share the same templates, contact details, analytics IDs and interlinking, changing the IPs will not disguise that. Google's own guidance on spam policies is worth reading before you assume infrastructure alone solves a footprint problem. IP diversity is one layer of a larger picture, covered further across our IP diversity and search footprint guides.

How ASEOHosting allocates addresses

Whether you take a shared SEO hosting plan or a dedicated server, the IPs you receive are drawn from different Class C ranges rather than a single consecutive block. If you specifically need addresses grouped by class or geography, our multiple A Class IP hosting options let you plan the diversity you want across a network.
