When you host a website on a server, it employs the server's shared IP address - a unique number that's used to identify a device connected to the Web. The website name which you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. Due to the fact that there are a lot more sites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use the same IP for several websites even in case they belong to separate users. While this doesn't affect your website performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly increase the loading speed of a certain site, granting it better positions in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so when you wish to protect the payment or login info that your website visitors enter, you'll need an IP together with the SSL.
