Which do you prefer, dedicated ips or shared?
Please explain why.
I prefer dedicated ips, for a few reasons.
A trusted domain on a dedicated ip, is a trusted ip.
You can control which sites are on a dedicated ip, unlike a shared. With shared ips, you could be sharing an ip with spammers, and it could have an effect on your web site. Since search engines "usually" ban by domains, but under severe circumstances, they will ban an ip.
A shared ip may start out as whitelisted, but could end up being blacklisted and cripple your business overnight. All it takes is for some to start sending spam, and it's over.
Too many web sites on an ip can also slow down your load time, due to server stress. This can also cause your server to crash and suffer some downtime.
Is it really worth the risk? No!
I could go on and on, but those are the biggest points I wanted to make.
Your thoughts?
