IP address for web link want it to be named not IP 1

[350ztn]

I have an IP address that is currently published to the web for web access to a server. I don't want that IP address shown to the entire world, I'd like it to be login.companyname.com/index.html instead of 1.1.1.1/index.html how is that done?

You need to setup a DNS entry for login.companyname.com with who ever is hosting your DNS. Once that's done you can change the links from the IP to the hostname.

Even then, if I ping the server, its IP address will be returned.

There is no way around that.

I'm assuming that the OP wants his web page easily accessible and isn't interested in hiding the IP address. Browsers always connect to IP addresses, not names, anyway.

Hiding the IP address isn't going to happen without contracting with someone like Akamai to proxy the web site.
