First, purchasing a domain does not necessarily come with an IP address, or set of IP addresses, unless you buy your domain from your ISP. What it does provide is the ability to point the domain you purchased to a DNS Server. You can either host the DNS server yourself, or have someone else provide it, but in the latter case, it is rare to find a provider that will give you enough control for anything more than the most basic DNS options.
Once you have pointed the domain to a DNS server, you then configure that DNS server to assign an IP address to each system in the domain (e.g., www.arun.com, or mail.arun.com). In your case, it seems that you would want to assign www.arun.com (or the purchased domain), to the existing IP address on the existing server. Once that is done, anyone who types in www.arun.com will be given the IP address of your existing server.
Please keep in mind there is a whole host of security issues related to this scenario that have not even been approached. The web server should be protected behind a firewall, and you should follow security best-practices for locking down any kind of IIS server you wish to make public. But those are topics for another thread.
For now, what you need is to determine where your DNS server is for the domain your purchased, find out how to configure it (or request changes), and then decide where you really want to publish your site (or how to protect your existing server if you keep it where it is).
Good Luck

What do you mean share? Use the same ip for multiple addresses? Or view several websites from the same IP.
Please make your question clear.
I guess that you want to host several websites from the same IP, the asnwer is that this is impossible.

It is very easy. If you are using Apache (and i know other server technologies support this also) you need to set up "name based virtual hosting". In Apache this will be set up in httpd.conf.
All you have to do is set up the config file as the example shows. Just tell Apache what name to look for in the request and where the root directory of that URL is.

say first you host your website called www.arun.com(say190.191.17.16) for your personal info then if you want to add a new site say for your project work then add that site as a sub site to your main site i.e www.arun.com/project this is allowed .Then you can share your IP by http://190.191.17.16/project
but a single IP for more than one website is not possible?
