When you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a special number that is used to distinguish any device connected to the Net. The website name which you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. Because there are a lot more websites than IP addresses, shared website hosting servers use a single IP for several websites even if they belong to several users. Even though this does not affect your site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly increase the loading speed of a particular site, granting it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you plan to protect the payment or login data that your website visitors type in, you will need an IP in addition to the SSL.
