How to make appear the domain name in the URL bar?

Hello all,

I have recently installed Apache 1.3 successfully and I own a domain name.
However, each time I access my page with typing the url, it is resolved
correctly however the IP address appears instead of the domain name. What
have I missed?

Thanks in advance.

You need to check the DNS A Record and forwarding settings with the people
who you registered the domain name with - I don't think it is an Apache
problem.

If your domain name is being forwarded to, for example, 100.100.100.100,
then that will appear in the address bar. But if the A Record has been set
to your IP address, then it should resolve to the correct name.

Be sure that the ServerName directive reports your domain name and that
UseCanonicalName is Off in the httpd.conf

I have checked with the domain registerer and that is them who do not offer
this option.
Is it possible to force the name with apache?
