Dedicated vs Shared hosting

[weblover50]

That is meaningless. Google doesn't penalize anyone for hosting on a server which also hosts spam sites. Google understands shared hosting and Matt Cutts has made this very clear on his blog. Whoever gave you advice knows nothing about SEO.

The best thing about virtual hosting is price: it's usually really low and dedicated hosting costs more, but offers more features and benefits. So if you ask me i'd go with dedicated hosting

In a simple way, with shared hosting, you share resources (CPU, memory, storage) with other hosting accounts. While with dedicated hosting, you get your own dedicated machine for your account.

Do we have any success story of sites moved to dedicated server from a shared hosting? I am planning to move to a dedicated server for better search results as I don’t have control on bad neighborhood which my site get from shared hosting.

Yes you can easily transfer your site from shared hosting to dedicated server. Which control panel you are using with your shared host and dedicated server ? If it is the same on both (Either cPanel or Plesk) then you can easily transfer the site by restoring cPanel backup on dedicated server or through migration manager from plesk control panel.

Dedicated is more important and became so cheap than before my suggestion is to get a dedicated where you have full control of your server
