    And if you on the shared server you do not need dedicated IP at all, unless you want SSL

    Think of it like this - you're the only person on the server your website is on.. not 1 other website on that server, uses that IP address.. why do you ask? Someone mention you needed one sometime in your life?

    A dedicated IP is an IP that's been allocated to you and no one else can use it.
