An IP address is an identity of a computer in the network ( Either it may be a local or world wide network ).
Dynamic IP address :
If you reset your modem and if the IP address changes ,then it is Dynamic IP address.Dynamic IP address is suitable for general internet usage.
Static IP address :
If you reset the modem and if the IP address does not change and remains same for all attempt then the IP is Static .Static IP or Dedicated IP address is suitable for website.It helps to get more traffic.

An IP address is essential to using the Internet. Thames Valley Communications does not allow residential subscribers to host a server, therefore we issue only dynamic IP addresses. This dynamic IP may change at any time, and will not allow people to connect to your server. These dynamic addresses are given out for two reasons: they make network administration easier, and they also act as a deterrent to hosting your own server. A static IP address never changes, and can always be found on the Internet.
