Search engines picking up the wrong URL

Server-Address instead of Domain

[eyerony]

I'm not sure where to post this topic. I did not really find a section into which I thought it fit.

I have a problem. I've submitted my domain to search engines, but they've partly picked up the wrong URL. Some have picked up the address of the server on which my website is located, but not the correct domain-name that I own.

It's quite annoying, because my ranking is influenced by this also. Some engines do not rank my domain properly and instead prefer the URL of the server of my provider.

Is there any way I can make a change about that? I do not want the server-URL to be listed. I only want my domain to get listed.

Your help would be appreciated. I do not know why the search engines picked that server-address up anyway, I've never submitted it anywhere.

There are a few more about, but the first one should help the most.
