    Have you checked if that is your ip address?

    Maybe you are the only visitor so far? Quite likely if you've just moved server?

    That is a private IP address. That is, it can't be routed on the Internet and must be on the same network as your server. How and where are you seeing these IPs? Maybe you're logging the web server's own IP? Maybe your'e behind a proxy that has this IP?

    Where did you got that address from?
    I mean, where are you seeing that all your visitors come from that address?

    Most probably your new host has a load balancer or proxy server in front of your web server and that is its IP address.

    Try looking at HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in the headers of a request and you will probably find the original IP address.

    You can do this in PHP with
    echo("Your IP address is ".$_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR']." !<br />\n";
    PHP:
    (Of course, this code contains an XSS vulnerability so you will not want to echo it to the page like that. Stick it in a file on your server or in the database or something... but validate it first.)

    There's a list of assigned IP address ranges here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space

    Your IP address range has a note:
    172/8 Administered by ARIN 1993-05 whois.arin.net LEGACY [7]
    [7] 172.16.0.0/12 reserved for Private-Use Networks [RFC1918]
