DNS determines whether or not the name will work. But I am confused. So, for example, you put your site on a server such as Server1. Then you tried to access it by going to http://Server1/Site and it does not work but http://ipofServer1/Site does work? Is that what you are saying?

To start with, you need to understand where those names come from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System[^].

Practically, to make your site exposed to the whole world of the Web, you need to purchase some domain name, which you can get independently of from your Web hosting provider. Alternatively, you can also get a subdomain of an existing domain; you can find such service for free.

It should be the name, but the name found from DNS. Did you read about it? You can have your local DNS server and do whatever you want.
