The SHOCKING Truth About Shared Hosting & SEO Rankings (Real Experiment Results)

E693: Does shared hosting - being on a shared IP address / shared server - hurt SEO?

I go over a crazy SEO experiment that tested 20 nearly identical websites - half hosted on shared servers, half on dedicated IP addresses. The goal: to see whether shared hosting environments affect Google rankings.

Topics covered:
- What the "bad neighborhood" effect really is
- What happens to your SEO when you use a shared IP address
- What Google’s own documentation says about this
- Tools you can use to check your current hosting setup
- Practical advice on when to consider switching to a dedicated IP
