How to see website before DNS resolves - gacott - 01-11-2010 02:02 AM

Many times it's important to be building and setup a website brfore dns resolves, just about all host allow this, something like http://mywebserver.com/~newdomain.com
How would I go about doing this with ISPCP? I am moving a customers domain to my server and will need to move it, set up a redirect from his machine and then change dns. So I will have to be able to see the production site on my server before dns resolves.

Thanks
Garret

You cannot access all hostings with one VirtualHost because of the different permissions of the different customers.

there's a howto (at least in the forum, maybe in the docu) to use something like vu20xx.admin.yourhost.com or similar...

sorry my bad english, for test a site, simply add your domains in your host file. On windows this files is in /windows/system32/drives/etc.
Add line

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx domain.ltd

remove your cache and try again
