It takes about 4 hours to fix the IP address update. The server will load the default page during this time.<\/li>\r\n<li>Less than 10 minutes ago, the domain was added to cPanel.<br \/>Wait 10 minutes after attaching the domain to cPanel or establishing a new subdomain before attempting to load the site.<\/li>\r\n<li>An attempt has been made to access a subdomain that has not yet been established or that is still being configured in cPanel.<br \/>If you enter the newly created domain, the desired webpage will load, but the configuration of the domain is still incomplete.<\/li>\r\n<li>If an A record is used to redirect the domain to an IP address, the domain points to an incorrect IP address.<br \/>In the cPanel \u00bb General Information panel \u2013 Shared IP Address,\u00a0you will find the IP address to which the domain is referring. The default webpage will be loaded if a domain is pointing to another IP address.<\/li>\r\n<li>The subdomain ftp.my-domain.com is accessed. Please access your hosting account using an FTP client in this situation.<br \/>Similarly, if you try to load a domain that hasn&#8217;t been configured yet, you can be redirected to the default page.<\/li>\r\n<li>The subdomain mail.my-domain.com is accessed.<br \/>In this case, please enter your domain&#8217;s mailboxes using the following addresses:<br \/>http:\/\/my-domain.com\/webmail<br \/>https:\/\/my-domain.com:2096\u00a0(access to the mail server through a secure connection) (insert your domain name here instead of my-domain.com)<\/li>\r\n<li>The domain\/subdomain was first removed from cPanel, and then it was re-added.<br \/>Wait 10 minutes after attaching the domain to cPanel or establishing a new subdomain before attempting to load the site.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this way, we&#8217;ve seen a few examples of why a website&#8217;s default cPanel homepage is loaded when a certain website is accessed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodhost.com\/kb\/how-to-customize-the-version-of-mysql-database-in-cpanel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Customize the version of MySQL database in cPanel<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You will discover in this article that the default cPanel webpage is loaded when a certain website is accessed.
