I've set up a new shared server space (standard LAMP stack).
I've been able to FTP to it using the IP address, but cannot access it through the browser, eg:
103.xxx.xx.xx/~username
I get a 404.
Same with modifying my host file. I have:
103.xxx.xxx.xxx mysite.com 103.xxx.xxx.xxx mysite.com
but just get a defualt cPanel error (cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi) when trying to access it.
Would anyone know how I can get this working (with the goal of building the site on the server, then pointing the domain name to it later).

There could be a number of things happening:
Have you put the page in the document root? usually public_html.
Does your host allow temporary URLs xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~user? This is an option that can be enabled/disabled by the host.
Have you checked DNS propagation?
Have you tried a traceroute to your domain to make sure it traces to your host?
