With most web hosting setups, entering the IP address will most
definitely not work, and, in fact, does not work in this case. For the
record, anyone can find the IP address by doing a DNS lookup. I did and
got 209.190.85.9.
The reason it doesn't work is a thing called "name based hosting" where
the domain name being requested is included in the HTTP request. This
allows using a single IP address for dozens, hundreds, or even thousands
of separate web sites.
