Using my Account and Site during Domain Name Propagation
Can a website be used without a domain name?
Until a domain name is provided or available, users can modify their hosts file on their local computer to view what a domain would look like on a server. Please bear in mind that a hosting plan must be purchased to do so.
For more information about modifying your hosts file to view a server with a domain that is not pointed to it, please refer to the article below:
Can my hosting account be used without a domain name?
Until a domain name has been propagated, users can access their hosting control panel and webmail via the server webmail address consisting of a server IP address and a port.
Control panel URLs
Your control panel can be accessed directly with the server IP rather than with your domain. Please refer to the listing below for what URL can be used based on your account type and what you need to access.
| Service | URL format |
|---|---|
| cPanel | https://ip-address:2083 |
| Webmail | https://ip-address:2096 |
| WHM | https://ip-address:2087 |
| Plesk | https://ip-address:8443 |
Make sure to replace the "ip-address" above with your server's IP address. To know where to find your hosting's IP address, please visit the following article.
