    Hey there! There isn't a way to hide the server's IP address, as there are many other ways to get that besides the cPanel login URL. If the DoS is coming directly to an IP address, you'd want to reach out to your hosting provider or datacenter to see if they have any tools that could help block that traffic. Do you know if the DoS is targeting a specific service?

    You can change the cPanel login URL to show the hostname through WHM >> Tweak Settings >> Redirection, but that still doesn't block the IP address from being detected. Anyone that can look up the DNS or ping a domain name will be able to find the server's IP.

    If you have a custom hostname in place, the default cprapid one would only work if someone manually types that in.
