Many customers find it useful to be able to access their account before changing the name servers for their domain name.
You can access any account on our servers, before the DNS propagates, using the following details.
Important: You should replace “servername” with the name of the server hosting your website. E.g. findlay.directrouter.com. You should replace “username” with the cPanel username of your account e.g. /~jsmith.
Please note that you need to add the tilde symbol ( ~ ) in front of your username in order for the temporary url path to function correctly!
Temporary HTTP (Website) Access:
http://servername.directrouter.com/~username
Temporary cPanel Access:
http://servername.directrouter.com/cpanel
Login with the account’s cPanel username and password.
Temporary FTP Access:
Use the following as FTP address: servername.directrouter.com
Login with account’s cPanel username and password.
You servername will be stated in your Rochen Welcome Email.
UK-based Rochen Accounts:
Use “directrouter.co.uk” instead of “directrouter.com”.
Other options for viewing your Rochen hosted site/content, prior to DNS changes, include the following:
