A dedicated IP address is a unique numeric identifier on the web that is assigned to a device or a website. Shared web hosting servers usually have plenty of sites under a single IP, while dedicated ones have their own IPs that are not shared with others. Even when you use a common shared account, however, you are able to acquire a dedicated IP address that will be in use just by your sites - one or a few. Because this can add up to the speed of asite, it is much more likely that the website will get superior search engine result rankings. Of course, this isn't the only factor, but it is likely to help you have more website visitors and prospective customers. The dedicated IP is also necessary if you want to encode the info exchanged between a website and its visitors by using an SSL certificate.
