New to this forum, and I must say i'm finding it very useful indeed. I have a question concerning ip addresses:

If your were to get your domain banned by google, would they be able to ban your ip address too?

In other words when you register a domain or hosting account, are these in any way linked to your computer's ip address?
 
When you register a domain or a hosting account your IP adress is logged.

Google is banning domains and not IP adresses.

Google only has access to your home IP address, when you interact with or use Google services or products.
Your host or domain registrar will have your IP address logged but unless you are hosting or buying domains from Google then you shouldn't worry.
Not sure I entirely understood your question, so you may need to expand a little.
 
Many of us using shared IP's(for cheap). If Google banned one, it will affect many peoples.
 
Ok understood, thanks guys
 
No it does not work like that. Your home ip address is not affected. Moreover your domain is not hosted on your home computer but on a different server.
 
When you buy a domain the IP might be from anywhere in the world so not your home, it can also be a shared IP, between your domain and others' . If you use a unique IP address you can have SSL, that is sensitive data, otherwise this is not possible. So when someone searches the web for a specific site and this site has a shared IP, the site's address transforms in the IP, the information is sent back to the server and only there the particualr website searched is listed. So a shared IP containing several servers cannot be closed by google because one domain is faulty. You don't close the supermarket if one product has expired, right?
