Hiding a URL in my web project

[StevenH]

Is there a way to hide or scramble the url... so a person can type it in?

Instead of my url showing as http://testweb\testfolder\info.htm

How can I hide it in other words like this:

http://12345467899

not possible, unless you have a forwarding service.
before the net actually started it was like that. all the sites were IP address. then a 16 year old kid decide to make it so you can assign IP address a name which turned out to be the url. other than that you would have to talk to the internet eople tha thold the rights to it, can't think of it right off the top of my head.

There's ways of obfuscating ip addresses. I think you could convert them to hex or whatnot.

are you talking about the interNIC?

yes that is teh one, brain farts I hate it.

actually I came across a site that was like what you said
http://12345467899/

and it was forwarded to the same site but to a cgi script. it was spam that I got it off, so they must have that number as an IP. or they registered it. I think that when the net all started it was like that come to think of it. talk to Internic and see if you can register that number, but you can't disguise a url to that number. you don't have any control of the url except what to name it and pay the bill.

in fact here is that url I got

http://2742879943/tvads

if you goto it will say it has been taken down. and it was a forwarder
