RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yournewdomain.com/ [R=301,L]
save changes, and that’s it

Add custom domain to cyberpanel dashboard

Note: If your domain is behind Cloudflare it will not work since CloudFlare blocks port 8090.

If you want to access CyberPanel on SSL you can do so by issuing Lets Encrypt SSL for the hostname, before continuing further make sure you have created website with a domain you want to access CyberPanel as.

If you want to access CyberPanel on: https://panel.yourdomain.com:8090 , create an account with a domain panel.yourdomain.com. While creating an account you can check SSL or not, it is optional.

If domain still does not point to the server, again a self-signed SSL will be issued.

To issue the Hostname SSL for your CyberPanel. Go to SSL->Hostname SSL

Select the website for which you want to issue the hostname SSL

 

Block login via IP

You go to this file:

/usr/local/CyberCP/CyberCP/settings.py

Replace * with your url:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

Like this:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['my.domain.tld']

Restart cyberpanel:

systemctl restart lscpd
