A host told me they can only give me 1 IP for all domains I am hosting with them. I won't say the name, but it's a well respected host by people on this board.

Anyway I was told from the begining of my cyber venture that each domain must have its own IP to protect the other domains from being blacklisted as well on search engines in case 1 domain gets blacklisted. The host told me that having only 1 IP shouldn't be a problem in SE blacklisting case.

Hosts I've been at so far all gave me unique IPs for each domain so I wasn't thinking about this at all. Now this host has better prices and some big fishes are hosting at it, but it only offers 1 IP for all domains. I don't know how to decide.

What do you think? Is having unique IP for each domain really so important or not?
