Contrary to popular belief, IP addresses are not required for every application under the sun. Back in the heyday of the Internet, you weren't anyone unless you had your own IP addresses and lots of them. Times have changed and IP addresses are scarce compared to 5 years ago. Nearly all current Internet applications have the ability to operate on a single IP address via name-based hosting or using different ports. Game servers in particular can easily run on different ports, so you can run multiple instances on a single IP address.
