    Hi,

    My friend bought a hosting package, and he's wondering how can he access the website not from the domain name but from the server IP and his username..

    I can't really remember but I guess it's something like this http://serverIP/~username am I right ?

    Be sure your adding the trailing slash, after the username.

    If that doesn't work - that means the host turned that feature off. Are they running cPanel?
