An IP address is a unique number that identifies a site or a hosting server on the Internet, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it'll be used exclusively by your sites and shall not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. In case you have your own server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for many different purposes. In case you have an online store, for example, you will need an SSL certificate for it, to make certain that the payment info your clients submit will be encrypted and safe. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some type and you want the usernames and the passwords which visitors enter to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which ought to be different from the one that you already have on the web server. You may also need an independent IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you want a slightly better efficiency for a certain website, which may affect its position in search engine results.
