Hello

Suppose we have a web server running lots of customer sites and also our
own website. All of these sites share the same IP address. Is it
possible that sharing the same IP address with all of our customer sites
could somehow negatively impact our own site?

I quote the following pharagraphs found via Google, not because I
support the statements below, but because I would like to find out how
much of Truth is there in them, if any:

"The Impacts Of Having A Dedicated IP Address

Acquiring a dedicated IP address for your domain brings the following
benefits:

Scam and Spam Blacklist Protection - In a shared hosting environment,
if someone you share with a common IP gets trouble for spamming or
scamming, the shared IP address could get blacklisted or banned by
Internet Service Providers (ISP) and it would affect all domains using
the said shared IP address. When your shared IP address is banned or
blacklisted on some ISPs, your website will not be accessible to some
areas in the world and your emails get blocked. It would directly
affect your online business operations, search engine ranking and
reputation. Getting a dedicated IP address resolves this. A dedicated
IP isolates your domain and protects it from being affected from the
consequences of abuses done by other shared users.

Business Identity Support - With a dedicated IP address, online
businesses can have the confidence of better identity. Customers feel
unsafe doing monetary transactions on sites that use a shared IP
address because of reliability and security issues. A truth about this
is that security certificates like private SSL requires a website to
run over a dedicated IP address before it can accept credit cards
online. Although you can still run an e-commerce site using a shared
IP address, through a shared SSL certificate, having your own
dedicated IP will make things easier and convince your customers to
avail products or services, and close deals.

Enhanced Search Engine Optimization - Search engines track websites
through their addresses (domain name and IPs). It has been found that
most search engines favor websites running over dedicated IP address.
Sites with a dedicated IP addresses do better in ranking on Search
Engine Results Pages (SERP). For online businesses, this concern is
very important.

Extended Hosting Functionality - Certain functions on a shared hosting
plan cannot be enabled if you are using a shared IP address. For
instance, Anonymous FTP can only be enabled with a dedicated IP
address. Anonymous FTP lets anyone using FTP client software to access
the files in a special directory of your site. Also, having a
dedicated IP allows access to your website by FTP even if your domain
name is still inaccessible due to propagation."

And I've had this happen on a shared host mail servers.
Some internet providers would not accept emails from my domains because
the IP range of an outside mail server was a black-listed spammer.
