If you host a website on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP address - an exclusive number that's used to detect every device connected to the Web. The domain name that you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. Because there are a lot more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use a single IP for multiple sites even if they are owned by several users. While this does not affect the website performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly enhance the loading speed of a website, granting it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so if you plan to secure the payment or login info that your site visitors type in, you will need an IP along with the SSL.
