Here's the thing - Google is targeting PBNs right now and one of the ways they are doing this is through hosting. I build PBN sites that have unique content, only 1 money site link on the whole site, images in posts, different CMSs (along with static files) and lots of different themes/templates but I have still had several sites deindexed and there was a clear common factor - cheap hosts.
SEO hosting is certainly not the answer but you also have to be careful when choosing cheap shared hosting too. Don't always go for the cheapest as these will attract more PBN type sites - going for something slightly more expensive means you will be in a better neighbourhood when it comes to the types of sites being hosted on each server.
Using the same list as everybody else is a recipe for disaster, especially when that list is on a forum so just find them yourself using Google and your own search expertise.
