In order to meet PCI compliance standards, A2 Hosting has disallowed access to cPanel on port 2082. cPanel can still be accessed with yourdomain.com/cpanel which will redirect to port 2083.
If, however, you are behind a firewall that has blocked access to port 2083, you can use cPanelProxy URLs to access these services on port 80
The URL format is as follows:
http://cpanel.proxyXX.a2hosting.com
http://webmail.proxyXX.a2hosting.com
http://whm.proxyXX.a2hosting.com
Where 'XX' is your server number (this can be found in your Welcome email).
Please note that if you connect to cPanel, Webmail, or WHM through these URLs that the connection is not SSL secured. If sending your password unencrypted is an issue on your network, contact your system administrator to see if exceptions can be made in your firewall rules for the ports in question.
