When it comes to Internet you must have heard about IP’s many a times. All computers participating in any form of Internet communication are uniquely identified by a set of numbers which is called as IP address. That mean such unique set of numbers assigned to each computer is called an IP address. There are 2 different types of IPs Shared and Static/Dedicated IP address used in webhosting industry.
A Shared IP is used by more then one site on the Internet whereas a Static IP address is assigned and is used by a single website.
If you know the static IP address of a particular domain then you can access it just by typing it in your browser’s address bar and you will be redirected to that particular website which is hosted on that Static IP, but if that website is hosted on Shared IP, you’ll get to a server but not to the domain you want because this server wouldn’t know which particular site you’re trying to connect to. Your webhosting service provider will offer you few dedicated/static IPs with your server for free and will charge you extra if you are using shared hosting account. Pricing differs from webhost to webhost also IP location depends on server location, if you are hosted on UK  server then your website will have UK IP address which may help you for better SERP.
