I found that my website is hosted on a shared ip adress together with other 400 comercial legal sites.I asked my host provider about the dedicated ip and the extra hosting cost is less than 2euro/month for the dedicated one.
I’m thinking very serious switching to dedicated.
Thanks for the advice .

Great my hosting company was trying to sell me a 45 dedicated ips package. They said people point 100s of ips to one website, and the more ips pointing to your site the more it helps your seo?

Anyone ever heard of this?

Regarding shared IP address vs dedicated IP address, you are safe to host as many sites as you need to on one hosting account, but Google seems to devalue links if you build inter-linking websites. on the same IP address.

other benefit of having a dedicated server is the geographical element which google is introducing this year. If for example your server is hosted in the Texas US and your a UK company based in london, most of your search results could end up coming from Texas US Geographic location

Maybe from a search engine perspective it really does not matter, but how about sitting on an IP that has requests for questionable sites?

Most virtual sites we see sit on IPs with over 500+ domains. What do you do when one of these sites writes a script that affects the requests to your IP?
Ever have your site go slow because someone decided to install an open source spam generating social bookmark site or something similar? Ever wonder why email is not consistent?
You visitor traffic can get affected, bots coming to site may get affected, etc.
On top of this, many (I’ll say this again, many) virtual hosting companies may not have your domain account properly set up either!

For the issues surrounding reverse DNS for email and even peace of mind knowing you are not sharing an IP with a link farm junkie, spend the extra bux and get a dedicated IP. If you’re serious about your business online, spending a bit more should not matter.

If it costs only $2 to get a dedicated IP, I would prefer to have one.
