A customer just showed me a Google search result that showed the numeric IP address for the site. Why would Google show that?

If you go to that address or following the Google link, is the site available?
This is most likely a an issue with a default Apache configuration. For this reason I recommend that people leave the default "It works!" page in place and don't touch the default Vhost, but rather add a second Vhost to the Apache config.

Yes, the site is live and functioning fine. I don't know if I have access to the Apache configs (I doubt it), but wouldn't know what to do if I did. At any rate, the configuration has been in place for years.

Nancy,
First let me thank-you for jogging my mind in trying my own IP address. I had forgotten about it when I moved hosts. You could consider a 301 redirect for the IP address URL. Then Google wouldn't give it in the search any longer.

Thanks, Earnie. I wondered about that. I am certainly aware of the standard "www" redirects in .htaccess and wondered if something like that would work for an IP address. I'm just not sure how to do that in .htaccess, but I will look at it again.
