A dedicated IP address suggests that you shall have a unique numeric identifier on the Internet and that it shall not be shared with other people's Internet sites or applications as it happens with a shared hosting account. There are lots of uses for a dedicated IP - including, when an SSL certificate is needed in case you have a web-based store and you would like to accept online payments or if you have a login form and you'd like the data that users submit to be encrypted. A dedicated IP address can also be used for other apps, such as a VoIP server, for example. Moreover, it shall give more credibility and security to your sites, considering the fact that a network flood to a shared IP won't have any effect on your dedicated IP. In the event that you host your sites with our company and you have your own web server, you'll be able to get one or several dedicated IP addresses with only a couple of clicks and to use them in case you cannot use the IP provided with the web server.
