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.
