If you have a site, the domain that you enter in order to open it is for your convenience, however the server where your website files are still has an IP. Considering that there're a lot more websites and devices than there're IP addresses, all shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP too.

One benefit would be that you will get improved search engine rankings because a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading website. Also, you need such an IP in case you plan to acquire an SSL certificate for your website and secure the information that visitors submit on it.
