The most likely cause of the issue where you are unable to access the site when you enter http://www.company.com is that the DNS entry is not available for the hostname.
DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that maps domain names to IP addresses. When you enter a domain name in your browser, your computer sends a request to a DNS server to resolve the domain name into an IP address. The IP address is used by your browser to connect to the website's server and retrieve the website's content.
In this case, when you enter http://66.111.64.227 in the browser's address bar, you are able to access the site. This means that the website's server is online and accessible via its IP address. However, when you enter http://www.company.com, you are not able to access the site. This indicates that the DNS entry for the hostname "www.company.com" is not available, and your computer is unable to resolve the domain name into an IP address.
There are several possible reasons why the DNS entry for the hostname may not be available. For example, the domain name may not be registered or may be registered with an incorrect DNS configuration. Alternatively, there may be an issue with the DNS server that is responsible for resolving the domain name.
To resolve the issue, you should check the DNS configuration for the domain name and ensure that it is registered correctly. You should also verify that the DNS server is functioning properly and able to resolve the domain name into an IP address. If necessary, you may need to contact the website's administrator or your network administrator for assistance in resolving the issue.
