if i press: Show Active and Inactive Accounts

i see the following:

Active Domains
69.57.129.xxx
plain.rackshack.net
exxxard.ath.cx


(i have xxxed a little bit)

my problem is i dont know why it is there and how i can delete it ... it blocks the use of the ip (above) for me ... cant use it for ip based site or somthing other ...


the box is clean, buyed yesterday and didnt install any site ... added only new ips with xx.xx.xx.11-22 ... and used update funktion and readed a little bit arround ... so why there is this ? how can i delete it to get the ip adress back for use ... ?


thanks for help

I believe that plain.rackshack.net is the default host name of your box. You can change that as you wish.

hmm perhaps, but why is the name plain.rackshack.net even if i have changed my hostname, and why does it use a own ip adress ?

127.0.0.1 is a loopback address. Anything coming FROM this address is actually coming from YOUR box. Anything going TO this address is going TO your box, and originated FROM your box.

Basically the only access to/from 127.0.0.1 is YOUR box.

ok that are the logs with the 127... but whats about:

Active Domains
69.57.129.xxx
plain.rackshack.net

thx for all

The change hostname feature in cpanel doesnt change everything that needs to be changed, do a search, there are some how to's for changing your hostname
