Static (or dedicated) IP

Definition by Best Host Ratings

If a web hosting company offer a dedicated IP with their hosting plan, this means that your site will be assigned its own IP address. Most shared hosting plans do not have this option. However some web hosting companies will give you a dedicated IP address if you need to install SSL certificate for example.
