LOL

It's not possible.

If you hide your website IP, how can your targeted visitors able to see the site?

BTW, why do you want to hide your website IP?

Every domain resolves to an IP address, so no, you can't it. You can hide your own IP address by using a proxy though.

Maybe these will help you better understand how the internet and IP addresses work:

What is an IP address?
http://www.howstuffworks.com/question549.htm

Your website also has an IP address.

When you type http://www.yoursite.com in the address bar of your browser and hit go your request goes to a server called a Domain Name Server. This server translates this human version of the website's address to it's IP address then sends you off to the website.

"A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a string of characters conforming to a standardized format, which refers to a resource on the Internet (such as a document or an image) by its location. For example, the URL of this page on Wikipedia is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator."

Yep, that's like saying you want people to come to your party, but you don't want them to know your home address.

I have copyright issues at freeexampapers.com. The site has been disabled 4 times and I need to prevent my opponents finding out where the server is.

If I set up a proxy server, will be enough?

You can contact your hosting to make them change the IP of your website if you want it to look as if it's hosted in another country. But not much more than that.

If I set up a proxy server would my server be safe? Could the location be found?
