Hello Folks!
How can I get a specific site at a shared ip.
if you just type in the ip-address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) you get the standard site. How can I directly get the others? Are these different ports or something?

Thanks.

Hi,
If you're on a host with a shared IP address, you can access a site by putting a '~', and then the username after it. For example, http://216.32.68.250/~yourusername/ is your website if you're on server 1, and http://216.32.85.170/~yourusername/ is your website if you're on server 2.

No, they're all on the same port, it's just using different 'virtual hosts'. The request to the server looks a bit like this:

Code:

GET / HTTP/1.1
[...more stuff here...]
Host: www.domain.frihost.net

Notice the 'Host:' header. That's what tells the server what site you want. If it doesn't recognise the host, you get the 'No website is configured at this address' cPanel message, or a similar DirectAdmin one.

Very Happy.

I changed some variables in Daniel15's posts, hope you don't mind.

I changed my post a bit as well; to provide examples for server 2.

It's for Frihost only.

Depending on how other hosts work, they can be the same method, just change the IP Address.

This will work on all other web hosts using DirectAdmin, cPanel, or another control panel (like ISP-Config). Just use their IP address instead.
