Hide IP address with IIS

[keepingbusy]

I have set up IIS to host our internal website. Is there any way of hiding the actual IP address by someone type in for example h t t p://ourcompany instead of the IP address for example h t t p://99.999.9.9 (http have been extended to stop hyperlinks in this thread)

Everything is working using the IP address.

This isn't a major issue but asking someone to type in the company is much easier than the IP address.

Thank you

Set an A record in DNS for the name you want and point it to the IP of your website.

I hope i understood the question properly.
