A dedicated IP address is a unique numeric identifier on the net that's allotted to a device or a site. Shared web hosting servers usually have plenty of websites under a single IP, while dedicated ones feature their own IPs which are not shared with anyone else. Even if you use a common shared account, however, you will be able to purchase a dedicated IP address that will be used just by your sites - one or a few. Since this can add up to the speed of thewebsite, it is much more likely that the website will get greater search engine result rankings. Of course, that isn't the only factor, but it is likely to help you get more website visitors and prospective clients. The dedicated IP is also necessary when you want to secure the info exchanged between the website and its visitors by using an SSL certificate.
