title: Website not pinging but is opened by Web browser
body: <p>Friends, I think it is a strange thing (at least for me). Coz I have learnt that every domain name on the Internet has itself a corresponding IP address. And it is stored at some place on a DNS.</p>
  
  <p>Now, This is what I get when I ping <b><i>google.com</i></b> from my command line.</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Windows\system32&gt;ping google.com
  
  Pinging google.com [74.125.236.135] with 32 bytes of data:
  Reply from 74.125.236.135: bytes=32 time=10ms TTL=55

  Ping statistics for 74.125.236.135:
  Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
  Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
  Minimum = 10ms, Maximum = 11ms, Average = 10ms
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I ping <b><i>www.cloudbees.net</i></b> I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Windows\system32&gt;ping www.cloudbees.net
  
  Pinging www.cloudbees.net [75.101.143.131] with 32 bytes of data:

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried it with its ip address(75.101.143.131) and it returns the same result.
  But when I browse the same(<b><i>www.cloudbees.net</i></b> but not the ip address) from my browser, the webpage opens up. How that happened?</p>
  
  <p>The another strange thing I noticed in the pinging is that when I ping <b><i>google.com</i></b> I get the following two line in the end of the ping result which I dont in case of <b><i>www.cloudbees.net</i></b>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
  Minimum = 10ms, Maximum = 11ms, Average = 10ms
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So can anyone please put some light on the entire mechanism and why such a thing is happening.</p>
