You can't use the address directly. You have to refer to gimpchat.com by name in your browser, to let your browser generates the proper HTTP headers, because at the other end, the software supports different forums using different names, if you come with the address alone, it doesn't know which forum you want to talk to.
And to be able to use gimpchat.com in your browser, it's either the regular DNS system (broken...) or your "hosts" file.
ofnuts, does that mean that gimpchat.com is also using shared hosting with that IP? it's not dedicated server? I am just curious. Because it seems pretty fast for shared hosting. My forum is on shared hosting and it's just really bad sometimes.
Even on its own dedicated server, it likely runs something that allow it to share the server. Here on gimp-forum.net it's a dedicated virtual server and I could run several different forums....
