Meaning the IP might change? I've been to several sites where the IP changes, godaddy is one. Is that what you mean?
It can't be. From what I have concluded EZ has a private server and only needs domain hosting and has a static IP from their ISP?
I meant that, if EZ has vHosts configured (which I think it has), accessing by putting just the IP in your web browser might make the server answer with something different than the
www.evilzone.org's webpage you are used to.

{SMF's HTML code}
However, during downtime, SMF wasn't accesible. Giving the Host header or not. Putting an entry in /etc/hosts or not.
I don't know if IRC's IP and http's IP point to the same server. They serve different things, however, you can configure both apache and Unreal to listen only in some IPs.
By the way, testing this, I found something that may should not be there
