temporary URL (before domain resolves) and correct path for my welcome email?

[questions]

In my welcome messages to customers I have a note that they can view their web site data via a temporary URL that uses the IP address... it stopped working because DA changed the format of the public_html directory tree...

It used to be:

Upload your data into the /public_html/customersdomain.com directory.
 
IP:	123.456.789.012
Use 123.456.789.012/~test1/customerdomain.com to access it until the domain resolves.

What's the current correct paths and URL?

correct path format for me is:

123.456.789.012/~test1/

Hello,

1.2.3.4/~username

is the current standard.

If you do want 1.2.3.4/~username/domain.com, then you can turn it on by adding this directadmin.conf option:

old_public_html_link=0
