I switched to a dedicated ip last year and it was a game-changer for my site’s speed. Shared hosting was a nightmare because of all the noise from other sites on the same server.
With a dedicated ip, my load times dropped by like 30%. Plus, no more worries about someone else’s bad behavior affecting my reputation. SSL certs also work smoother—no weird errors.
For SEO, it’s not a huge boost, but Google does prefer stable, fast sites. So indirectly, yeah, it helps.
If you’re serious about your site, I’d say go for it. Tools like Pingdom or GTmetrix can help you test the difference before/after.
