How to find your hosting service details

Locate your server IP address, hostname, cPanel username, nameservers, and other key hosting details in CustomerPanel and your welcome email.

On this page

Your hosting account has several important details: server IP, hostname, cPanel username, nameservers, and file paths. These are needed for DNS setup, FTP connections, database configuration, and technical troubleshooting.

Your welcome email

When your hosting account is activated, UnderHost sends a welcome email to your registered address containing:

DetailExample

cPanel URLhttps://server.underhost.com:2083
Server hostnameserver.underhost.com
Server IP address192.99.63.xxx
Nameserversns01.underhost.com / ns02.underhost.com
FTP/SFTP hostYour domain or server IP

If you can't find your welcome email, check your spam folder. You can also find most of this information in CustomerPanel.

Finding details in CustomerPanel

  1. Log in to CustomerPanel

    Go to customerpanel.ca and log in.

  2. Go to your service

    Click Services > My Services and click on your hosting plan name.

  3. View service information

    The service page shows your server IP, username, package name, billing cycle, and links to cPanel, webmail, and phpMyAdmin.

Finding your server IP in cPanel

Once logged in to cPanel, look at the left sidebar under General Information. It shows your shared IP address, cPanel username, and home directory path.

Finding your absolute path

Your absolute path is the full directory path to your files on the server. On UnderHost, it follows this format:

Standard path format
/home/username/public_html/

Where username is your cPanel username. For addon domains, the path is typically:

Addon domain path
/home/username/addondomain.com/

You can also confirm your path by creating a file called pathinfo.php with the contents <?php echo __DIR__; ?> and opening it in your browser.

cPanel File Manager shows your path

In cPanel File Manager, the current directory path is shown at the top of the file browser. This is your absolute path.
