I've recently transfered a domain to a new host and now i'm curious as to how i can access the files on the old server. I used to login to the cpanel of the old server with cpanel.mywebsite.com and now when i do that, it goes to the cpanel of my new host. Is there any way to get to the cpanel of my old host?

The simple answer is "No". If you really need access to the files you'll need to contact your old hosting provider. The old files still exist (or will for a while), but aren't accessible via the domain (obviously). You'll need either to create a temporary domain to access your old files or use a sub-domain from the old provider. If this isn't possible they might ftp the files to you (but don't hold your breath). Do this quickly because they might wipe your files and assign the disk space to someone else. | |||

It may be possible if you happen to know the IP address that was assigned by the previous provider. Just use the IP in place of the host name in the URL. However, it's unlikely that they will keep your files online for long after your service agreement ends. You could also try the WayBack Machine as they keep an archive of all publicly accessible sites indefinitely. | |||
