I'm currently working on a Linode Ubuntu 20.04 VPS with a cPanel installation. Upon trying to access to the control panel (<server_ip>:2083), the browser resolves the IP to localhost:2083 and fails to open the control panel.

I've setup my /etc/hosts file as follows, according to the explanation in this Linode guide:

# /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1               localhost
<vps_ipv4>              <my_domain>.com        main-server

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1             localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1         ip6-allnodes
ff02::2         ip6-allrouters
<vps_ipv4>      <vps_ipv4>.cprapid.com <vps_ipv4>

I'm pretty much sure that the root of the problem lies here. Still, I'm a just a backend dev, completely new to server administration, so I haven't figured out where I messed up.

I have checked the rDNS for the IP and it matches my domain. I have also checked that the domain (which is managed through Linode) has the corresponding A records matching my instance's IP address. I've also disabled the UFW firewall, to no avail.
