        Hi Niners52, This is a server administration issue. Normally the IP address version of the site is 301 redirected to the preferred domain. It looks like your site has been cached by Google based on the IP address. Here's a helpful thread discussing the issue and how to fix it:

        Hope that helps! Cheers,

          That is a good starting point. I have a little bit different problem though. My ip already has a 301 and it doesn't show up in site: at all. So weird.

            Just want to add that it is not my actual server but my dns server.

                That is actually my old thread. I never figured it out then either, I just know the number has almost doubled.

                  What happens when you load the IP address? Does it load your website or something else?

                    If you try to type in just the ip address it will show up as this webpage not available. I don't know how Google has access, or why they would crawl a dns server.

                      Would you mind posting the IP here? It "might" help. 🙂
