When you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - a special number that is used to identify every device connected to the Net. The website name which you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. Because there're a lot more websites than IP addresses, shared hosting servers use the same IP for a number of websites even if they are owned by separate users. Even though this does not affect the website performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly enhance the loading speed of a certain website, giving it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so if you plan to protect the payment or login info that your website visitors submit, you'll need an IP together with the SSL.
