    ASEOHosting Introduces SEO Hosting With Multiple Class A IP Addresses

    Hudson, FL, September 3rd, 2013 – ASEOHosting, a leading provider of multiple IP hosting, has announced the creation of new SEO hosting packages that allow clients to take advantage of multiple Class A IP addresses per hosting account.

Specifically, each hosting account can now use up to 20 different Class A IP addresses.
