All devices on the Web are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain that you type to load it is for your convenience, however the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Since there are many more sites and devices than there're IP addresses, all shared web hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas when you use a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you are able to acquire a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you will have better search engine positions as a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading site. Furthermore, you need such an IP when you plan to get an SSL certificate for your website and secure the info that your visitors submit on it.
