    I use VPS hosting. If I use my VPS hosting main and secondary IP address. They are redirecting to /cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi web page. Why is that?

    How do I load my blog using an IP address?

    Thanks!

    That's the default structure of cPanel. If you just browse the IP it will show a default cPanel page. There are 2 alternatives you can use.

    1. Assign a dedicated IP to the domain & browse the IP. This will show the website.
    2. Use the temporary URL serverip.com/~cPanel-username

    Replace server serverip.com with actual server IP and cPanel-username with actual cPanel username.

    You need to assign the IP to your domain so that it masks it and be dedicated to that domain . To change the IP of the domain , just go to Account Functions > Change site IP ; it should do that task .

    Let me know if you still facing any problem in assigning IP's.

    If you point it to your domain it will show your site, otherwise use a dedicated ip to assign if you need to access site via IP.
