Automatically create an alias of the temporary URL of a new account.

[Marcelo R. Berwanger]

Hello!

How do I automatically create an alias of the temporary URL when a new account is created?

For example: user.server.hostdomain.xyz to hostdomain.xyz/~user

You can help me?

Hello,

The URL you are referring to stems from the Apache Mod_Userdir tweak documented at:

Apache mod_userdir Tweak - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

The URL is not intended for permanent use, and no support exists to automatically configure a redirect/alias to that URL. You could manually add a custom Mod_Rewrite rule. However as an alternative, you should consider editing the hosts file on the workstation attempting to access the domain name until the DNS change propagates:

hosts (file) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank you.

We purchase white label domains (i.e. server.com) for every server outside of our white label hostname and then use a WHM hook and cPanel API to create user.server.com on account creation so that every user has a temporary URL that doesnt use /~user URL as it has had some security issues in the past.
