Keep i.e. 172.217.9.164, then there will be very few people who would like to remember 172.217.9.164 instead of Google.in.
How Domain Name System (DNS) works
The domain name system consists of the Domain Name System. The domain you type is converted to an IP address. It instructs your name server to search for this IP and get it to you if you talk. Name server is the official name server of the domain on the Internet and you will get the information of this name server from the same website from which you register your domain.
