Hiding IP address

[kmcallister]

I'm hosting my site on a Windows 2k3 server but when I access my website over the web it shows in the status bar of the browser the url as

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx.

Is there a way to hide the IP address. I would like for it to read

http://www.abccompany.com.

Thank you,

KMcAllister

What domain name are you using?

It's really a moot point.... if someone wants to know your IP address, they just have to do nslookup

http://www.abccompany.com

or whatever.



Just my $.02

That is true but I just dont like the way it look when you access a site and see the IP.

What domain and who is doing DNS for this domain? Also, I notice you have the url listed as

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx,

does that mean you are using a non-standard port for your web server? In that case, your DNS provider would have to allow url masking.

Go to

http://www.dyndns.org/

and set up an account. After you set up an account pick what dns name you want to associate

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx

with. Dynamic DNS is the area you want to go into. It's free. After your done type

http://yournewdnsname.whatever.org:xx

This will hide your IP.
