Can you elaborate on why bypassing can be problematic?

Mostly because it relies on a few server settings that aren't under your control.
For instance, WHM can be told to disallow access like
http://ipaddress/~username
Also, even though WHM's default username for new accounts is the first 8 characters of the domain name, that can be changed so that user joe owns something.com. Therefore, the ~ part of the URL would be
http://ipaddress/~joe and not
http://ipaddress/~somethin
This also assumes WHM. Other control panels may have different ways of putting this URL together or disallow it altogether.
Glad it worked, though.
