IP reputation and the curse of shared hosting neighbors

Guys, need some advice. I got a clean IP from Hostinger on their shared /24, been running mail for my clients for 6 months, zero spam complaints. Then last week my IP lands on 3 blacklists because some other tenant on the same /24 got compromised and is blasting phishing emails.

I opened a ticket with Hostinger, asked for renumbering to a clean prefix. They said "all our IPs are enterprise-grade" and refused. No migration offered, no clean IP, nothing.

So basically my options are: eat the reputation hit and wait for the other guy to get cleaned up, or move to dedicated prefix somewhere else. But dedicated /24 is like 4x my current cost. Any leads on providers who actually monitor their prefix reputation? Or is this just the cost of doing business on budget hosting?

Margins are already thin on this panel.

your margin is my opportunity

¿why Hostinger does not monitor the Prefix reputation¿ is very bad business, brother.

Jaja in my country we have saying: cheap meat makes thin broth. You pay little, you get the neighborhood of spammers.

Is very better to pay for the dedicated Prefix, brother. Your Clients will thank you with the InboxDelivery.

¿have you checked the Leaseweb¿ they have the clean IP reputation program, is very expensive but works! — https://www.leaseweb.com

I had such problem with Vultr. Same /24, neighbor was sending such much spam. I make update to ticket, ask for new IP, they say "is cloud hosting, is normal."

I make move to HostHatch with dedicated /29. Is more expensive, yes, but reputation is better. No more blacklist. Such expensive but worth it.

Your clients will leave if mail is broken. Make move now, not wait.
