Default ip address to access website

I have built Joomla sites for a while, but recently I was asked to transfer a regular html site with no db to a new host. I coppied the files from the old hosts www folder to the new cpanel hosts publichtml folder. When I type the ip address in, it says not found. Shouldnt the ip reach the website even though there is no domain pointed at it yet?

It seems that you are doing something wrong. Here is the issue of temporary URL when the domain is not pointing to your hosting server. You need to consult your hosting provider in this regard.

If you are using whm/cpanel, you can access your site on the temporary url by using the link http://IPaddress/~yourcpanelaccountusername.

or if you still face issues with it you can ask your hosting provider to check the issue.

If you are on shared hosting on a shared IP, you will not reach it via IP alone, either wait for DNS to propagate or if its a cpanel account, as mentioned login using the ~accountname method

You can also note that the person who has a webhosting company in his signature (probably related to them somehow), asking such simple questions, maybe a good hint to look elsewhere

I agree with you. That is not good to show potential customers that web host do not know some basic things
