Most networks have a firewall setup to block access to the ports required for cPanel, WHM, and webmail.
No need to worry, just use the proxy connections instead.
Proxy access for cPanel, WHM, and webmail. Needed to bypass firewalls.
With your Linux Shared Hosting accounts, you have access to a control panel that contains the admin functions of your account. Generally, you would access this using the following syntax:
http://yourdomain.com/cpanel
This URL would change to
http://yourdomain.com:2082
This URL causes problems for some owners, as it attempts to connect to port 2082. This is an uncommon port and may be blocked by corporate and public firewalls, thus preventing access.
If you are unable to access your cPanel using the above URL, you can now access it using the following syntax:
http://cpanel.yourdomain.com
This syntax does not connect using an uncommon port and will allow you access. The same rules apply for Webmail and WHM.
http://whm.yourdomain.com
http://webmail.yourdomain.com
