We have a number of clients and develop our work on a local preview box running IIS and XAMPP.
We need to setup a preview server with CVS and client preview areas i.e. a directory for each client locked down for them to view.
How can i preview my homepage without changing my nameserver?
It was something like: ....
I've recently opened an account at a shared webhosting, cPanel managed. I've assigned it the main domain name I plan to use, but currently that domain points to another webhosting.
Before I proceed with the change of nameservers and make the definitive switch from the old to the new host, is there any way I can privately preview my site (100% HTML) from the new host? I'd like to ensure it's working OK before making the jump.
I've tried to add an entry to my local HOSTS file assigning my domain to the new host IP, but I only get a default page from the new server.
I already have extension NAT manager and everything else working perfectly, but website preview not. How to fix this issue behind NAT?

"We cannot locate this domain name's DNS record "
Domain name is not at Godaddy but I changed its DNS to godaddy, using their name servers
ns44.domaincontrol.com
ns43.domaincontrol.com
When I check the domains whois , it shows these new nameservers too.
Anyone know how to get this done?
I'm trying to view my sites using the "Quick Preview on a domain name in Plesk" setting. I notice that it modifies that domain's DNS records to include the IP with dashes, however when I attempt to preview any of the sites hosted, I get "server not found" from my browser. The URL is the correct syntax, but cannot seem to access the site.
I've tried turning DNS off and on for each hosted site, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
I am new to this and it has been a long weeks of struggle just to get my website live on the internet. I can preview it but i can't Open what is the problem? It also not live on the internet. I waited over six days because i was thingking it was still in the process of propagation but nothing happened.

Previously I had a way of sending a client a link to the site before the DNS and domains propagated. Usually, this was in the structure of
http://IP-Address/webspacename.tld
With Plesk, I am trying to do the same. But when I hit the preview button beside a domain name / web space, I get a very long winded URL which partially works.
[URL] ....
I could probably live with that but all my CSS paths are broken, browsing any links brings up a 404 nginx error etc. It's not good.
Interestingly, I have a site on the same VPS which works beautifully as the domain propogation has kicked in. However, and here's the thing, the very site in this URL preview structure has the same issue ... broken CSS files.
Is this a problem with my VPS provider or a Plesk oddity? BTW I know I could setup a cheap temp domain or change my Mac hosts file but I think this is beside the point. Would I be better off switching to Cpanel or a different VPS provider?
Not sure what the problem is but I can't preview a new website using Quick Site Preview. I have configured Tools and Settings > Website Preview Settings > Quick Preview on a domain name in Plesk by selecting the server domain name, yet despite this when I go to a new domain I setup today and click preview I get a browser windows that says "Server Not Found".

I've transferred at Joomla! site to my server with Plesk 11.09. I want to see if its all working allright before i change DNS to point to the new server.
I put in [URL] .... as preview link, but that only shows the Plesk default UI. When i add 'index.php' to the end I do get the site, but without formatting
[URL] ....
How I can get my formatting to work?
