a static IP is a permanent IP number. it will never change, and you will be the only one with it. You can give out your IP number like a phone number. This is good if you run some kind of server... of course this usually costs more money.

Like zoddy said; your ip-number is like a phonenumber for other computers. A number is hard to remember though, so if you have a static ip-address or a dynamic ip-address, in both cases you probably would like to attach the number to a domain name.
