Posting Outside Link

I know, I know. I read all of the stickies. There is a dedicated help section, and we're not supposed to post outside links.
However, I think that this question pertains only to this subcategory, and might be confusing if it was put in the Help section. That being said, feel free to move it.
Now, my question: When you say no outside links, does that include server IPs? For example, my server's IP is 68.113.249.217, but I have a much nicer IP if I use a link. [PM me for the link, or join the server using the actual IP]. So, would I be able to post my server's IP as a link, or does that count under the no outside links?
Thanks, WhyIsItReal
