Yeah, but if someone gives you a domain-based URL, how paranoid are you over checking its trustworthiness? Do you say I've never been to that domain before, so I won't trust it? That effectively prevents you browsing the web, beyond the MSN homepage that came preinstalled on your computer. Do you check the spelling of every URL you consider visiting? Just one character of typo in the domain of a URL could find you redirected to a fraudulent site. So you must check every URL carefully. Really, domain-based URLs are better than IP-based ones because they allow the owner to move a site's IP without changing it's addy. They are therefore likely to have better longevity. But I am somewhat dubious of your security concerns. Stroller.
