A dedicated IP address is a unique numeric identifier on the web that's allotted to a device or a site. Shared website hosting servers usually have a number of websites under the very same IP, while dedicated ones feature their own IPs that are not shared with others. Even if you use a typical shared account, however, it's possible to get a dedicated IP address that will be in use only by your sites - one or a few. Because this can contribute to the speed of yourwebsite, it is more likely that the website will get improved search engine result positions. Certainly, this isn't the sole factor, but it is likely to help you have more visitors and prospective customers. The dedicated IP is also needed when you want to encrypt the info exchanged between the website and its visitors using an SSL certificate.
