cpanel interface.. www.mysite.com/cpanel <<that page.. but after they enter their information, how would it direct them back to the other server? or am i just better off moving them? was wanting to not move them but if theres no other way, wont have much of a choice lolBy "login page" are you referring to a page on your website where users can login to their cPanel interface or something else?
Going to example.com/cpanel will usually direct users to the proper server. The only exception I can think of is DNS propagation issues that result from moving a website to a new server. If for some reason this stops functioning properly for you, please let our technical analysts determine the cause of the issue.cpanel interface.. www.mysite.com/cpanel <<that page.. but after they enter their information, how would it direct them back to the other server? or am i just better off moving them? was wanting to not move them but if theres no other way, wont have much of a choice lol![]()
that seems logical however, if the old server is in chicago, and the new one is in dallas, how would it know which server to look to for the account info?Going to example.com/cpanel will usually direct users to the proper server.

The reason this works is because you're relying on DNS (which in turn tells you which specific server to connect to). If you have 2 servers: Server1 and Server2. If example.com is on Server1, when you go to example.com, you're connecting to Server1. Therefore, by going to example.com/cpanel, you're connecting to the cPanel interface on Server1.that seems logical however, if the old server is in chicago, and the new one is in dallas, how would it know which server to look to for the account info?
because if the main site example.com is moved to the new dallas server, how would it know or pull the data from the chicago server?
in theory it sounds easy, but haha, we all know, if it sounds too easy, it REALLY is..
yeah that part i know, but i guess what im wondering is:The reason this works is because you're relying on DNS (which in turn tells you which specific server to connect to). If you have 2 servers: Server1 and Server2. If example.com is on Server1, when you go to example.com, you're connecting to Server1. Therefore, by going to example.com/cpanel, you're connecting to the cPanel interface on Server1.
Now, say one day you move example.com to Server2 and you let DNS propagate. When you go to example.com/cpanel, you're still looking up the DNS for example.com. Only now, the DNS points to Server2 so you're connecting to the cPanel interface on Server2 when you go to example.com/cpanel in this scenario.
Note, example.com is the domain of the actual site in these examples. It is not the hostname nor the IP of either server.
Setups where cPanel/WHM is on one server, but the data is on another are not supported at this time. Therefore to manage data on Server1, the user must login to Server1. To manage an account on Server2, the user must login to Server2.yeah that part i know, but i guess what im wondering is:
lets say main site and cpanel are on server 1, other clients are on server 2 that already has cpanel on it from the partner. i want to have clients log into the cpanel thru server one, but all of the clients data will be on server 2.
so clients would enter example.com/cpanel and after entering user name/pass it directs them to server 2 for their data and interface. that make any sense, or is it clear as mud.. cuz i think i'm confused now lol![]()
drat! thats what i was afraid of. any way or idea on how to submit this idea for inclusion in the next release?Setups where cPanel/WHM is on one server, but the data is on another are not supported at this time.
