Hey there! There isn't a way to hide the server's IP address, as there are many other ways to get that besides the cPanel login URL. If the DoS is coming directly to an IP address, you'd want to reach out to your hosting provider or datacenter to see if they have any tools that could help block that traffic.

Do you know if the DoS is targeting a specific service?

I have seen some people block the direct ip access no if anyone goes to the ip directly it will show them this page
domain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi


Do you know how to do this? it will help me a lot!

You can change the cPanel login URL to show the hostname through WHM >> Tweak Settings >> Redirection, but that still doesn't block the IP address from being detected. Anyone that can look up the DNS or ping a domain name will be able to find the server's IP.

I am using cloudflare for that

Is there a way i can disable the default url which looks like this https://111-402-1-11.cprapid.com:2087/
it exposes my ip

I do have hostname which is custom but the default url still show's there
