Need more info ... have you done a traceroute to see what's happening? host unreachable usually means it can't find the host DNS/network issue..... The computer your using to ssh from... can it see the website?

Are you using the correct command structure?

ssh username@mydomain.com - where username is the same as the one you use to log into the cPanel, and mydomain.com is your primary domain name. The password will be the one for your cPanel login.

if it was the wrong syntax it would allow him to put in a password. Host unreachable is pretty specific with either a network or DNS issue.

Are you using the java shell from the cPanel? Try a real ssh client..... they changed a lot of things with cPanel lately and I wouldn't trust any link from it until it's sorted out.
