I set up a site on a hardhathosting VPS, and set up the DNS as well as I could figure out.<br />

Typing the domain name brings me to the site, but then the domain name disappears from the address bar and it shows the numeric IP. &nbsp;This is really jamming me up because I'm running some non-free apps that require a valid domain name to work; they &quot;call home&quot; and fail authorization because they are reporting xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rather than sitename.com.<br />

Likely causes?

Domain name resolves, but address bar shows numeric IP, screwing things up royally...

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
