Answer
Every domain name that is home to a website has an IP address assigned to it. An IP address is the real address of a website or server. Domain names were developed because it was too difficult to remember long IP numbers like 234.123.66.7. In shared hosting a single IP address is shared amongst hundreds of different websites.
