To get your own SMTP server IP address from a hosting company usually requires some type of virtual or physical dedicated server account. It is more common to get this from companies that specialize in hosting email.
A dedicated IP is a dedicated IP, that's why it's dedicated.

If it were not it would be shared.

That's the difference between dedicated and shared.

I never recommend anything other than a dedicated IP.

You don't need an ISP that specializes in email hosting.

Every major ISP offers them.

You just need to generally spend more than $2.99 a month.
