What are classes of IP?
All IPv4 IPs which we use generally consists of 32 bits which is represented with 4 decimal numbers separated by dots(.) for easiness in reading writing and remembering.
For example :
10.11.12.13 is an IP which represents 00001010.00001011.00001100.00001101 in binary
The 4 separate decimals are 4 classes of the IP as per classless convention..
So, for IP 10.11.12.13...
10 = A Class
11 = B Class
12 = C Class
13 = D Class
Now about C Class IPs..
In terms of SEO(SEO hosting more specifically) C Class IPs implies Different C Class IPs, more clearly IPs on different C Classes.
For example IPs 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 are same C Class as 1.1.1 is common in both.
But IPs 1.1.1.2 and 1.1.2.2 are on different C Class as they are on different c classes 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 respectively.
Similarly 1.1.1.1 and 1.2.2.2 are on different B Classes.
1.1.1.1 and 2.1.1.1 are on different A Classes.
How it is important for SEO?
Yes, it is most important and we realize this. You can go for some Multiple C Class IP hosting providers like me. They let you host your sites on different c class IPs.
I found a blog at V7N regarding Google's Patent which explains why it is important.. blog.v7n.com/2007/10/02/seo-and-web-hosting/
How do I find out if my sites share the same Class C IP?
There are some SEO Tools which let you check C Classes of your sites.
I googled class c checker and found webrankinfo.com/english/tools/class-c-checker.php
