is it worth to buy hosting for mini site?

[gooderpoker]

how important is web hosting? And does it matter if i host all my sites on one server?

Currently I have 2 hosts/ just host and host gator. I host 5 sites on them both.

should I add another or should i get a new host for this new site and others im sure to think of.

Not sure why you would even want two. I would put everything on one host. I know that hostgator allows unlimited sites and if you have the second tier hosting they offer unlimited addon and parked domains.

Not sure that there are any disadvantages to having one hosting company, but maybe someone can correct me here.

I guess my question is;
If I want all my sites to link to each other and have link value, do they need to be hosted on different ip or server?

The IP address doesn't really matter. If you want to interlink your sites, that is usually okay, too.

If you want the links you give yourself to have value, you have to obtain links to those linking sites from other resources.

Just interlinking to yourself won't accomplish anything significant.

you also have to consider analytics and webmaster accounts and maybe some other factors for the site, so its a hassle to try to disguise the fact that you own all the interlinking sites.

Don't worry about hosting for all that. As long as you aren't trying to link-scheme, then interlink your sites as much as you want, as long as it is natural.
