- Clubber 9y agoThat's baloney. Try to run a website by an IP and see how far you get.
- Larrikin 9y agoSounds specifically like a problem of terrorists organizations and their marketing departments.
- Taniwha 9y agoSure you can - you type it in just like text, works great - I'm sure other terrorist organisations like ISIS do the same thing
- Clubber 9y agoSo how much traffic would Google.com lose if they switched from DNS to just an IP? None?
- smileysteve 9y agoOne perspective is that Google runs their own DNS that many people and services use as a convenience. Also, as I get chastised for using Bing (because they pay me) and much of their traffic comes from browser defaults, it's arguable that if they stopped hosting on google.com it may not be that negative of an impact. To the same degree, note that Amazon CHOOSES not to list their more specific apps in the google store and force customers to download THEIR store and change their phone permissions.
- tanilama 9y agoIf they choose to base themselves on extremist idealogy, it is their problem to figure out how to sustain themselves let alone craft its own monetization plan!
