So I've just been setting up my first dedicated server, and have realised I want to be able to ensure that the default cPanel/WHM page (see attachment for what I mean) comes up when I point a new domain at one of the IPs...

Is there any way whatsoever to stop this from displaying? Is there any way I can replace it with a simple html/php file?

You can replace it with anything you'd like by modifying the index files located under: /usr/local/apache/htdocs

Thank you for the information, I've always wondered how to replace that ugly standard page.

Won't that file will get replaced once cPanel updates?

I wouldn't trust cPanel updates not to overwrite anything on my server. Whenever we update, I always have another technician on hand in case stuff explodes :P

Set your updates to manual and downgrade the file persmissions on /usr/local/apache/htdocs files. That's the only sure fire way to ensure cPanel doesn't take an axe to your custom default Apache pages.
