Solution 1

Include the port number with the IP address.

For example:

http://19.18.20.101:5566

where 5566 is the port number.

Solution 2

You can access you website using your IP address and your cPanel username with ~ symbols. For Example: http://serverip/~cpusername like as https://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/~mohidul

    I want to edit my host file to forward a website to another IP, but that IP is on a shared host, so the IP doesn't take me to the domain I want. Is there a way around this?

    i.e. Website: http://somerandomservice.com/

    Ping the site and go to: 67.225.235.59

    But they're different sites.

    Thanks!

    Update: Tried nmap, but unable to find the correct port.

    How do I go about finding the port number of a domain I don't own?

    If it isn't the standard 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, or 53 for standard DNS, chances are it was given a custom port by the owner of the domain and unavailable to you (without running an nmap via bash, or some other method).

    I went ahead and nmap'd 67.225.235.59 and got 13 open ports. I wasn't able to find the domain in my example above. Is there anything I could be missing?
