Accessing cPanel / WHM / Webmail behind a proxy

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:14:36 +0000

To access your cPanel / WHM / Webmail if you are behind a proxy that is blocking access at work, school or university etc. you can use the following subdomains

http://cpanel.yourdomain.com

http://whm.yourdomain.com

http://webmail.yourdomain.com

These will allow you to bypass the proxy as the traffic will go over the standard web port 80 as opposed to a custom port.

cPanel, WHM, Webmail Secure Access URLs

The preferred URLs for SSL access are:

https://servername.solardns.com:2083 for cPanel
https://servername.solardns.com:2087 for WHM
https://servername.solardns.com:2096 for Webmail

e.g. https://mars.solardns.com:2083

You can find your servername in the Welcome Email or by contacting support.

You can also just access via https://yourdomain.com:2083 for example for cPanel but you will receive an SSL warning because the certificate won’t match your domain name, in some browsers you can permanently accept the certificate so the warning won’t come up in future.

Unable to create a new account in WHM

If you are seeing this message when you try to create a new account in your WHM reseller hosting account:

“You do not have access to create that package (0)!”

This implies you have not defined a Package via WHM first before trying to create a new account.

After you have defined a Package using WHM go back to the new account creation page and be sure to select the package you have just created.
