The server URL for the primary domain name of an account looks something like this :<\/p>\n

http:\/\/servername.com\/~cpanel_username\/<\/em><\/p>\n

here :
\nservername.com<\/strong> denotes the hostname of the server on which your account is located.<\/p>\n

cpanel_username<\/strong> denotes the cPanel name of your account.<\/p>\n

You are allowed to check your account’s server name\/cPanel user from your<\/p>\n

User Area -> My Accounts -> Information & Settings page.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In case, at present you don’t have WordPress installed on your account, then you can easily install one by using cPanel -> Softaculous<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After doing that, you need to change the siteurl<\/strong> and home options<\/strong> in the WordPress database. Also, it allows you to make changes in phpMyAdmin<\/strong>, available in cPanel.<\/p>\n

Then in phpMyAdmin<\/strong>, select your WordPress database<\/strong>, and then the wp_options<\/strong> table. Remember that the wp_database prefix may be different for your database than the one you chose during the WordPress installation.<\/p>\n

Find options siteurl<\/strong> and home<\/strong> and change their values to the server URL for your account.<\/p>\n

In case if you are not sure about exactly which database is related to your WordPress installation then you can find its name inside the wp-config.php<\/strong> file which is located inside the WordPress root\/installation folder.<\/p>\n

To open the File Manager in cPanel, search for the following line :<\/p>\n

define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');<\/pre>\n
Finally, you need to update the WordPress RewriteRules<\/strong> inside the website’s .htaccess file<\/strong>, so that they will match the new URL. Following are the default rules :<\/p>\n
# BEGIN WordPress\r\n\r\nRewriteEngine On\r\nRewriteBase \/\r\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f\r\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d\r\nRewriteRule . \/index.php [L]\r\n\r\n# END WordPress<\/pre>\n
and you have to change them to :<\/p>\n
# BEGIN WordPress\r\n\r\nRewriteEngine On\r\nRewriteBase \/~cpanel_username\/\r\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f\r\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d\r\nRewriteRule . \/~cpanel_username\/index.php [L]\r\n\r\n# END WordPress<\/pre>\n
here, cpanel_username<\/strong> denotes your cPanel username.<\/p>\n
Using File Manager in cPanel, you can make these changes in .htaccess.<\/p>\n
Now, in case you have a WordPress Multisite then you will need to update a few more values in the database and configuration file to make the website work with the temporary URL.<\/p>\n
