Hello,
I have added an additional IP to use as a shared IP and assign it to multiple hosting accounts. Everything works fine except that if I access that IP directly through the browser it loads one of the hosting accounts.
This does not happen with the main server IP, in this case it shows the "Default Web Site Page".
How do I prevent direct access with that IP?

Hey there! Apache always tries to load something to satisfy the request, so the best thing to do would be to create a default virtual host for each IP on the server. Details on how to configure that can be found here:

support.cpanel.net

How do I set a default VirtualHost for each IP address?

Introduction This article explains how to set up non-existent sites and IP addresses to go to a particular site or the default Webpage instead of the first VirtualHost entry bound to an IP address....
