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.
