Should I get a dedicated IP address for my website?

[seamate]

This question should have been better suited for the Hosting section, but I can't post in that section.

I want to know if dedicated IP address are much better than shared IPs with regard to SEO and general performance of an e-commerce website. I read some conflicting views - Kinsta, for example, think dedicated IPs are an overkill.

What do you guys think? Has anyone noticed any significant increase in rankings after getting a dedicated IP?

i dont think IP has effect on SEO, but website speed may have.

I always use VPS which have a dedicated IP. I put 5 or 6 different sites per VPS without any issue (unless traffic runs high, then I move them to an independent VPS).
Why?

Simply because I don't trust the sites that share IP with me. In my VPS with the IP I know exactly what kind of sites are running within (mines all), but in a shared host, you are 100% on the risk that a site

Think about the IP as a multiple store building.

That's why tools like Majestic have the neighborhood analyzers. You have to be always aware of the other sites you are sharing IP with.

If you are running PBN since you are the "black hat" of the building, then you don't have to care much about IP (unless your PBN is a killer domain, then you should protect it and if possible, don't build a PBN on top of it, but a legit site).

Yes, that is a better way to go without a doubt on shared hostings.

For reputed site, dedicated ip will do good. Your site is secured and good loading time. Don't go for shared hosting which has bad neighbors, sometimes it will have negative impact on your site. Shared hosting is good for less important site.

Dedicated ip is best for money site. For safety purpose.
