What is a Dedicated IP?

When a hosting account is mapped exclusively to a unique IP address, it is called Dedicated IP. That means, the IP address is dedicated to your own website use and not shared with other hosting accounts. It is mostly used by websites that involve customers on a large scale like e-commerce store, so as to keep their information secure. Use of dedicated IPs for your website can handle high traffic to your website, thus improving your ranking in search engines.
