This article describes how to use a shared URL (which is also sometimes called a "temporary URL") to access your site. With a shared URL, you do not have to use your domain name to view your site. This feature is useful for website testing, or if you have not configured your domain name settings yet.
A2 Hosting provides shared URLs that enable you to access your website without using your domain name. The URL you use depends on the type of account you have, and which A2 Hosting server hosts your account.
To determine the shared URL for a shared hosting account, follow these steps:
If the server name for your account does not contain a hyphen (-), use the following table to find the corresponding shared URL for your server. Replace username with your own A2 Hosting account username, and replace X with the server number:
If your server name is… | ... then the shared URL is: |
---|---|
a2sX.a2hosting.com | username.wwwX.a2hosted.com |
a2ssX.a2hosting.com | username.wwwssX.a2hosted.com |
a2lsX.a2hosting.com | username.wwwlsX.a2hosted.com |
nlssX.a2hosting.com | username.wwwnlssX.a2hosted.com |
nllsX.a2hosting.com | username.wwwnllsX.a2hosted.com |
sgssX.a2hosting.com | username.wwwsgssX.a2hosted.com |
sglsX.a2hosting.com | username.wwwsglsX.a2hosted.com |
To determine the shared URL for a reseller hosting account, follow these steps:
If the server name for your account does not contain a hyphen (-), use the following table to find the corresponding shared URL for your server. Replace username with your own A2 Hosting account username, and replace X with the server number:
If your server name is… | ... then the shared URL is: |
---|---|
srX.supercp.com | username.wwwsrX.supercp.com |
ssrX.supercp.com | username.wwwssrX.supercp.com |
nlssrX.supercp.com | username.wwwnlssrX.supercp.com |
sgssrX.supercp.com | username.wwwsgssrX.supercp.com |
srcX.supercp.com | username.wwwsrcX.supercp.com |

To access the shared URL for a Managed WordPress account on cPanel, follow these steps:
For managed VPS and managed Dedicated Server accounts, use the shared URL http://username.wwwXXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.a2hosted.com. Replace username with your A2 Hosting account username, and replace XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX with your server's IP address.
For example, if your username is example, and your server IP address is 192.168.1.24, then the shared URL is http://example.www192-168-1-24.a2hosted.com.
If you have configured a subdomain or addon domain for your account, you can also access them using a shared URL.
