Re: Unique IP
From the Matt cuts blog:
"Actually, Google handles virtually hosted domains and their links just the same as domains on unique IP addresses. If your ISP does virtual hosting correctly, you’ll never see a difference between the two cases. We do see a small percentage of ISPs every month that misconfigure their virtual hosting, which might account for this persistent misperception–thanks for giving me the chance to dispel a myth!"
s far as I am aware a dedicated IP in itself does not offer any benefits over a shared IP except in situations where your hosting provider allows undesireable sites to host with them.
If you find yourself sharing an IP address with several illegal, imoral or unscrupulous websites then you could find yourself labelled by the SE's as coming from a bad neighbourhood.
However, this should not be an issue if you stick to the mainstream "known" hosting providers who all have contractual conditions preventing the hosting of questionable sites on their network.
