A host will have a number of IPs, a box is on a specific IP, there will be a number of web sites on the same box, many domain names pointing to the same IP. For example my sites are on a box with 25 different sites that I know of, all pointing to the same IP. If one of them causes a ban on the IP then all sites are affected/banned.
