Can your web host affect your websites ranking?

Of course it can.

I moved a website to Spain a couple years ago and the host had Google blocked from the whole server. Lost all my rankings the second I moved it.

We moved another site to the UK and it lost all the US rankings but started ranking so well in the UK that it actually started getting more traffic than it had gotten before the move.

And let us not forget that individuals that spam, recklessly accumulate links, promote certain material, as well as a variety of other actions can black list an entire server or IP.

Most these types of people hang out on the cheaper hosting plans because they attract these types of activities.
