Webhost affects Google Sandbox Perhaps?

    Does one's webhost affect whether a site enters Google's Sandbox?

    All my GoDaddy cheap hosted sites have experienced the sandbox filter, while a recently hosted site on the more expensive Bluehost was never placed in the sandbox.

    Might there be a correlation?

    On a similar note, might having a dedicated IP address lower the likelihood of a site being placed into Google's Sandbox?

    Either could make sense. Spam sites are invariably cheaply hosted, and as Google's Sandbox is designed to filter out spammy sites, maybe the cost of web hosting have an impact on whether a website experiences the Sandbox?

    Please don't turn this into a thread about whether the Sandbox exists....

    I do not believe it is the host it could be the domain name. If you only register for one year at a time google does not rate them high.

    Registering a domain for two years hasn't help me - 10 months in the sandbox and counting in one case....

    chris911, you could very well be right. This is an interesting observation, indeed!

    chris911, You can move one of your sandboxed sites to another host. One-two weeks and you'll see an answer...

    Is it ok with content and inbound links of all of them?
