How to disable mod_userdir on the hostname or from an IP

Introduction

Apache, and cPanel by extension, offers a feature enabling users to access their user directories via the server's IP address or the server's hostname. The URLs appear like this:

http://123.456.789.000/~cpuser/index.php
http://server.hostname.com/~cpuser/index.php

This feature isn't always wanted. To disable it, read below.

Procedure

1. Log into WHM
2. Navigate to "Apache mod_userdir Tweak" in the "Security" section or via the search
3. Uncheck "Exclude Protection" from "DefaultHost (nobody)"
4. Click "Save"
