Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : address bar displays numerica IP instead of www.---.net

[memoire]

I have a question about the ip address being displayed. Well, here is my situation.

I registered a domain name through webaddress.us.com and I am using their FORWARDING service to redirect client to my server. Once the client is redirected to my server, the address bar displays "http://12.253.20.39" instead of the www.XXXXX.net. How do I replace the numeric IP address with the....friendly name? Thanks.

You're using fowarding - try putting in the nameservers, and it won't show the IP.
