Not at all, there are plenty of domains that are on the same IP, way more 
than you would think. ARIN has gotten really hard to get IP space from and 
now a lot of ISP's and hosting companies will serve the multiple domains 
from the same IP, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this at all....

same business...
