Can I view a site without having a domain connected to it.

Is it possible to preview my site without having a domain setup?

Answer #1

You bet! In your welcome email you will see a domain similar to the following…

http://123.123.123.123/~username

If you don’t have a copy of this url, no problem! Simply replace the IP address (123…) with the IP address of your server and replace username with the username of your account.

However, if you are using a content management system (like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, etc.), this may not work correctly as the system expects requests to come from a certain domain, not a shared server url. However if you are using a system like this, it is normally very easy to change the settings either by using the administrator panel, or in some cases, you can use phpMyAdmin.

If you have a specific script you need help with, please let us know and we’d be happy to assist
