Are you saying all hosts on a site use the same IP address?  That would
make it impossible to access individual servers.  Perhaps you meant
subnet?  Also, with many data centres, it's possible to arrange for your
own Internet connection, completely independent of everyone else there. 
Of course, that becomes more difficult, though not impossible, if the
servers are running virtual machines.
