Proxy access for cPanel/WHM/webmail.
With 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
http://yourdomain.com:2082
This URL causes a 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 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
Note: You will need to create A records for each subdomain above if not created by default during account creation process.
IonCube PHP Loader Error on website
Site error: the file /home/USER/public_html/index.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_X.X.so to be installed.

Create a ‘php.ini’ within the following:
zend_extension = /home/USER/public_html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.X.so

Replace USER with the username of the account you are uploading the php.ini file to.
Replace “X” with the appropriate version of the ioncube loader
Upload the php.ini to your public_html directory.
If you are running your script from a directory other than public_html - for example /home/USER/public_html/blog/index.php you will need to upload the php.ini file to that directory.
