    Most hosts give you a URL that would work. something like yourdomain.com.hostdomain.com. THat way you can have your site set up before the domain name get pointed to it.

    You might want to check your host, I bet they offer it.

    Or you can usually view the site from the IP address.

    say..

    11.111.111.11/~username/

    That usually works.
