–  toomanyairmiles May 6 '12 at 1:16 Nope. That link has nothing
to do with IPs. –  Hope4You May 6 '12 at 1:28 That's not my
question. I'm asking about a dedicated IP address, not about
dedicated servers. –  Hope4You May 6 '12 at 1:34 shared IPs can
be a problem in countries that filter the internet. I have a
site on shared hosting that was suddenly unreachable in China.
My ISP graciously moved me to another shared IP and the site was
ok again. The only possibility is that a different account on
the same shared IP did something to offend the Chinese
government and they blocked "our" IP. This is not a common
problem, but it is worth noting. –  Andrew Heath Jun 1 '12 at

government censors blocked the IP instead
