>I have never really heard of any case where a complete host would be blacklisted.

Me neither. But i remember a interview with a fast official who said that they maintain a large list of blocked ip's ... a reasonable number ~30 Mio servers if i remember right. I gonna search that interview ... i think he didn't say black listed domains but black listed ip's (?). Is saw one guy who was zapped with more than 350 different domains, shared hosting on 2 or 3 ip's - fast couldn't have banned him without simply banning his ip's. So my guess is they do black list ip's and may be even classes - regardless of shared hostes innocent sites.

<added>Nope, found that thread [webmasterworld.com]. Stephen Baker of fast said There are no banned servers. In our experience, we have seen spam on 2/3's of all web servers, however, we do not blacklist 2/3's of all servers. It is just an interesting statistic but doesn't really have any consequences. So, sorry, my above statement is speculation.</added>
