You need to save until you can budget for dedicated IPs as most all SE will see straight through using the same class C block. :yield:
Enjoy ..... :cool2:
I run a network of over 400+ blogs. About 320 of my sites are on dedicated IPs and the rest are on shared IPs. I have yet to see much of a difference to be honest. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, so i'm not here to say whos right and whos wrong. I just know my clients and my personal sites are ranking quite well regardless of dedicated or shared.
I am with 3 different providers for Dedicated IPs
I have 45+ shared hosting accounts
I am with 7 different shared seo hosting companies
Again, this is my opinion..

There are three main reasons why having a Dedicated IP Address for your Business website is so crucial.
1) SPAM:Many anti-spam services don't just block email addresses, they block IP addresses too. If just one person you are sharing with happens to be considered spammer (whether they really are or not), they are likely to get that IP address blocked in anti-spam services around the world - this will block you too, and there's nothing you can do about it until the person who did the spamming stops or moves away.
- A Dedicated IP Address means no one else is sending mail from your IP, so you can't get blocked for someone else's mistakes.
- You can also setup feature called a ‘reverse DNS name'. This adds an extra level of assurity people you send mail to that you are who you say you are - this helps further reduce the chance your emails to clients will get marked as spam.
- A Dedicated IP Address means that the only thing the world sees on your IP is what you put there.
- While there has been significant debate as to if/what direct SEO Boost having a Dedicated IP Address gives, the very fact that it removes the risk of several known penalisers is a significant boost alone.
Conclusion?
If you are running a Business website or eCommerce store, then having a Dedicated IP Address can be an exceedingly important factor to your success. If existing clients can't receive your emails, or new clients can't access your website, then you may find your self in serious hot water. Many of the benefits of a Dedicated IP Address are about stopping bad things from happening rather than specifically making good things happen.
In the end, a Dedicated IP Address is kind of like a seat belt in a car: It won't stop you running into a tree, but it may just save your life.
(IMHO)
