...godaddy windows shared hosting site with only ip address (not FQDN)? Assuming ip address of "www.abcd.com" is "55.55.55.55"
Normally, we use "http://www.abcd.com/xyz.doc" to access the file "xyz.doc"
Because it is a "shared" hosting site and IIS needs "host information" in HTTP.
Hence, "http://55.55.55.55/xyz.doc" is not working.
If the path is known, it is still possible to access the file "xyz.doc"
by doing "http://55.55.55.55/***some path***/xyz.doc"
The question is : what is the path ?
