Here, we’ll see the reasons why customers can’t access cPanel and the solutions for that.

Reasons why your customers ‘can’t access cPanel’

1. DNS issues – The commonly used URL by customers to access their cPanel is ‘http://www.domain.com/cpanel’ or ‘http://www.domain.com:2082’. But if the domain name is not resolving properly due to any DNS issues or recent IP changes, it can cause the cPanel also to be inaccessible using these URLs.
2. Routing errors – Any errors in the customer’s local router, ISP or in the routing from the ISP to the server, can block the proper access for customers to their cPanel.
3. Firewall blocks – Every server has a set of firewall rules to protect it from unauthorized access and attacks. Due to login failure attempts or too many access, even valid IP can get blocked by the firewalls, causing cPanel access issues for those customers.
4. Service failure – If the cPanel service is not running in the server, it can obviously lead to the entire customers being unable to access their account.
5. Port blocks – Many ISPs are known to block cPanel related ports such as 2082, 2083, 2095, etc. as a part of their network security. This can cause the users on those ISPs to have difficulty accessing their cPanel.
6. Incorrect login details – If the customer is using incorrect username and password to access his cPanel, he would not be able to access the account.

How we resolve cPanel access issues in servers

After identifying the reason for the cPanel access issue, we take appropriate actions to resolve the problem. If the issue is related to client’s ISP port blocks or routing errors, we provide them alternative ways such as cPanelproxy to access their cPanel.

If the server firewall or DNS issue is causing the cPanel block, we immediately identify the customer’s IP and unblock it. By identifying the reason for the firewall block, we are able to provide tips to customers to avoid further blocks.

In cases where we notice that the firewall rules are too strict and affect normal functioning, we monitor the block patterns and fine-tune the firewall rules to provide smoother access for customers.
