a unique address and allows you the ability to directly access your web site without using the domain name
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            a unique IP address that is assigned to your domain name
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            a unique set of identifying numbers for a web site
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            A dedicated IP address is only necessary if you want your web site to secure / encrypt transactions or accept credit cards online. By adding a Personal Secured Certificate with your Dedicated IP Address, your web site can now be securely accessible.

                            A cluster host's unique IP address used for network traffic not associated with the cluster (for example, Telnet access to a specific host within the cluster).
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Your site has a permanant IP address (series of numbers) on which it resides, rather than a shared IP as .com's usually have
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            In many hosting plans, you share an IP address and you will be able to view your site through your domain name only. Obtaining a unique IP address (see IP Address) provides a one-to-one relationship between your domain name (www.yourname.com) and an IP address.
