Why not just skip the sarcasm and actually tell us what your problem is?

You still haven't explained anything about this supposed banning.  How do
you even know you're banned?  I very much doubt many people on this list
have ever been banned "by IP", though some no doubt have trouble with
net-blocks (if your address is in China...).

Because you didn't ask a question.  You've had far more help than you can
reasonably expect.  

Describe your problem, in detail, and we can probably help.  The only hint
you've given us was "some situations like some websites don't allow more
than one connection to their website from a single ip address !!! what if i
have 3 employees using this website ? do i have to buy 3 ips ? (I have 70
ppl behind one single ip so buying 70 makes it a bit too $$$$)".  While
there may be situations like that, I work for a government department where
there are 300+ people accessing the Internet from a single IP, and I've
never run across a problem.

At home, I have exactly the opposite situation - the connections are limited
at _my_ end. I have a satellite modem that permits only 5 concurrent TCP
connections.  I have as many as 7 users accessing that modem, and while it
can mean the occasional website timeout, it doesn't stop us working.
