Answer 6)Dedicated IP means having your own specific IP address for your website.
Remember Virtual Hosting? Where several domains is hosted in an IP? The bad news is that if either one host
causes the IP to be black listed from search engines(Maybe a lot of users use google to find out about your
website) the whole domain using that IP will also be blacklisted - which means your website will not appear on
google. Dedicated IP is also a must for personal business which contains transactions - since some SSL
requires Dedicated IP. The purpose SSL is to encrypt the connection to prevent eavesdropping by third-party.

Answer 7)Behind your domain name is an IP, an IP can have many domains that point to separate folders. The search
engines and other on-line entities can see this as well as your domain name. If somebody is spamming or doing
something illegal on the same IP address as you then you may find that your search engine rankings can drop
and your mail can get marked as Spam.
