Cannot access to the website trought the ip

[yondaime.tori88]

Hi,everytime i try to access to my website through the shared ip(69.175.122.178) the server redirect me to this webpage:http://69.175.122.178/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
I followed the instruction to try to resolve it,but with no success...How can i solve this problem?

Simple.

In shared hosting you cannot access an individual account via the IP by typing it into the address bar/clicking on a link.

Because if i ping my site i obtain this ip 69.175.122.178 and i need the ip of my site to access through Arduino(it require an array of 4 bytes).
It had worked untill the end of september and now i don't know how to access again to the site...

That is the IP of your server. What IP were you using before? Does it fail to work with 69.175.122.178 ?

That is the same ip that i have used all the time(arduino and browser access) and now,as you can see, the server redirect me to page of the first post...

when you go to the IP alone the server would have no idea which site to show as there's a few thousands to chose from.

However, something that MAY work is http://69.175.122.178/~yourcpanelnamehere (no guarantee, it has not worked when I tested previously for free hosting)

It didn't worked as you said...however thanks for the reply.
Could you explain me why it had worked and now no?
Should I buy an unique ip to have it work?

With free hosting we don't offer a dedicated IP, but that should indeed work.

As far as I know, using the IP alone would never have worked in a shared hosting environment, for the reasons stated: there's several sites using the same IP so the server would then not know what to show.

It is possible that the option http://69.175.122.178/~yourcpanelnamehere did work for a brief time while some things were being configured during the latest maintenance, but has never really been an offered option for free hosting.
