Dedicated IP

A sending IP address used by only one sender, so its reputation depends entirely on that sender's own email practices.

Short answer

A dedicated IP is a sending IP address used by only one sender, so its reputation depends entirely on that sender's own email practices. It suits high, consistent volume senders who want full control. New dedicated IPs must be warmed up gradually, and low-volume senders often do better on well-managed shared IPs.
