Doubts with shared
Hi, bought a BuyShared Reseller, and want to give my clients access. Is there a way to give them a custom URL to enter cPanel? Tried with CloudFlare but it doesn't work.
Thanked by 1DewlanceVPS

Have you tried asking @Francisco?
Nope. I thought it was something general, instead of BuyShared. A lot of ppl sell cPanel reseller, isn't it?
They can do.
Tld.tld/cpanel
Or create cname.
Tried that. All browsers complain of SSL mismatch. If I tunnel it with CF, the IP changes and it will not work.
You mean a customer URL so that they don't know what they are really connecting to?
Yup.
Normally hosts uses whitelabeled domain that I think buyshared have it also.
Only thing I can think of is a whitelabel domain.
Care to explain? I don't really get the "white label". The thing I thought it could work is to use a small VPS to tunnel it.
A reverse proxy maybe? I don't think there are any other ways. I know for webmail, you can just set up a CNAME of webmail.yourdomain.com to cpanelserver.com and that will work (except for the SSL part, but cloudflare can solve that easily), not sure if that's the same for cpanel directly.
Nope, because Cookie IP validation
It's been a requested feature from cPanel for a while. As most said, while labeled domain is the way to do it, we do it for our stuff
Basically the host uses a domain that isn't directly associated with them.
For example we use shared panel com . Then host names come from that making it white labeled
Now everyone knows :P
why you don´t create a login directly from your website.
Huh?
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh OK. Well, I think I will use a small VPS instead. Thank you all!
@netomx I just tried what I said above, it works just fine, able to login to cpanel.
So basically what I did was set CNAME of cpanel.mydomain.com to server1.hostingprovider.com and enable cloudflare. When I visit https://cpanel.mydomain.com, it doesn't redirect and instead it will just show the page and proxy everything just like a VPS + nginx, and with free SSL. The only thing you need is to set your crypto to Full (NOT strict) and everything should be fine.
We have the whitelabel domain so it shouldn't be hat big of an issue.
Francisco
yeah
Top posting.
CNAME on Cloudflare

I do have a trick I use sometimes for cPanel resellers - a NGINX reverse proxy.
Sure, the last login IP is messed up but hey, it pretty much guarantees that the client will not figure out the actual host.
That's sortable.
I will do this, thanks everyone
Nah, just internal clients, pal
@netomx
Here's the configuration I used:
(where yourwhitelabeledserverhostname.com is the hostname you'll use, and buyvmserverhostname.com being the hostname of BuyVM's reseller servers)
I just modified with:
And works wonderfully, thank you!
Meh, I don't go for the cleanest configuration, but hey, good job
Proxy is a bad idea. All connections to Buyshared will be from the Proxy's IP.
Say someone using your proxy will enter a wrong password X time. Assuming they use cPHulkd entire proxy will be banned for X minutes.
There is no good solution AFAIK. If you want to look independent from the provider you should really take a look at Dedicated or VPS...
