Just like a mailing address, correct? The IP is the address (i.e., 123 Main St., Fuckville, IL) Whereas what we use (xxx.com) is "the yellow house on the corner of Main St." Not sure if that is correct.
in a basic way, yes it is. However these days the IP address is no longer enough, as you need the DNS for a lot of sites. an IP will send you to the load-balancer which will send you to a load-balanced server. If you try via IP it will give you nothing, DNS plays a big role in this.
