    Hello

    What is everyone using to see files for sites before the DNS resolves. For a normal server, I just use the standard

    http://IP Address/~username

    But I am uploading some files for a client with "addon domains" on his cpanel so they are directed to a sub folder of his base domain.

    I have tried several combinations and thought the right path would be this

    http://IP/~username/public_html/domainname/index.html

    any ideas here - thx so much

    In order to see the files before the DNS resolves, I temporarily modify the Hosts file on my PC and add these lines. The file can be found in the folder C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc

    11.11.11.11 www.domainname.com
    11.11.11.11 domainname.com

    Replace 11.11.11.11 with your actual IP of your Host, and domainname.com
    with your actual domain. Remember to remove the lines after testing.
