You can enter the ip number and get your home page But if you enter the domain name you get an error That's DNS

Unless your server is using virtual names, in which the IP address may not give you the website you expect, because the same IP address is being used for more than one domain name.

That's a minor quibble, but it has confused me many times when debugging DNS problems...
