Our WebSite and the IP Address
-
My friend and I have recently put up the website: www.chessratings.org . It is being hosted on my friends machine which runs Linux and uses Apache to host the site. When a user goes to the web address it works but in the address bar of the browser wwww.chessraings.org is gone and the URL of the site is shown. We do not understand why and we want to turn off this behavior. Bob

how do you mean 'URL' of the site is shown ? www.chessratings.org is (a) URL - what do you see .. an IP address ? Are you using a static tcp/ip address on the Linux machine with a DNS entry ?

Your domain is hosted with GoDaddy. It resolves to the IP address
50.63.202.10, which is a GoDaddy server. It looks like you've configured the domain to redirect to your IP address (71.187.235.187), which suggests you're paying them to host your domain. You need to edit the "A" record for your domain so that it resolves to the correct IP address. Manage DNS for Your Domain Names | Domains - GoDaddy Help[^] Once that's working, check that they're not charging you to host the site as well. :)
