Access without domain

masscrazy · December 13th, 2006, 10:33 PM

I want to know if it is possible to view a website by just its IP address and the username.

I've tried it but it doesnt work. But other sites with domains work with the IP and username.

You can view the site by using the format http://ip-address/~username/

You can't forget the trailing slash

ive tried that but it doesnt work.

The actual domain name ran out. I use the same address for the FTP and it works.

Hmm, it should work. Can you post it here so we can give it a try?

You mentiioned that this works for other domains, but not 'theocdu'. Is ~theocdu the cPanel username of the hosted account, or is it possibly an addon domain that you added to your regular account?

If 'theocdu' is an add-on domain that you've added to your regular account, and 'theocdu' is the public_html sub-directory for this domain, then try http://72.29.83.53/~cpanelusername/theocdu/

This is what I've used in the past for a domain that I was adding before Nameservers were updated for the new sub-domain.

Its definately the username of the regular account. It was given by surpass at the time the account was created.

I can use the account on FTP and i can login to my Cpanel.

Ok. Maybe you have a problem that the helpdesk can correct.

Oh, and I'm assuming that you have an index.htm file uploaded to the public_html directory - right?
