Question Can IP neighbours hurt your site?

I was reading an article on Beer Monies that talks about IP neighbours. The author states that all his/her sites were getting sandboxed:

Quote:
I did a IP neighbors check on one of my old sites to see what all else was in there. What I noticed was a lot of garbage. Pure garbage everywhere? It seems everyone loves these $10 hosting accounts and just uses them for affiliate sites and spam. I didn?t see 1 legit looking site on my entire server with them
After transferring from Hostgator to a new hosting account, the author states:

Quote:
My site is now ranked #1 for my term overnight. I few other things happened to this domain so its hard to tell right now which one caused my site to go from sandbox to #1 but I think it was the hosting move.
Do you know if it's true that Google treats your site differently depending on who your IP neighbours are?

You can check who your IP neighbours are here.
