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.

You're on a shared host with any number of other web sites and owners. When one goes rogue and launches bots at the world the IP is logged and is used to ban all the sites on that IP, which might include your own. Bots reappear on a regular basis, using the same IP, so bans, in general, are for life.
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.
