When I first start to develop a site I create an account for it on a shared hosting account but I do not point the DNS to it. So the link to the site while it is in development, looks something like this 56.17.123.12/~siteusername. Then, when the site gets launched, I point the DNS to it and the site goes live. However, I have now noticed that when I press the HOME button from any internal page, the URL changes and displays the IP address instead of the domain name. How do I change this to read the domain name instead of the IP address?
Many thanks,

- Look in your configuration.php file in your root directory, find the $live_site variable and see if the IP address is there. If so, just remove it or enter the correct URL. Hope that helps.
- The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
