Single IP vs shared IP

Stephanie - based upon a tiny test that I conducted about
seven months ago, 
the stabilized search engine position of a "few"
websites (5 would be a 
"few") does not appear to be hindered in such a
case as you have described. 
However, I suspect that a reputable shared hosting service
which adheres to 
RFC guidelines is important to the aforementioned outcome.

Another result of that same tiny test also seemed to confirm
another search 
engine behavior.  Specifically, the search engine position
of a website 
receiving a particular set of links from a particular set of
websites will 
indeed be boosted a bit if the exact same referring websites
"point" from 
different hosting services.
