So you’ve migrated your website to a new server or web hosting provider and you want to view your website in the new server before pointing your DNS over?
There are generally three ways for you to achieve this:-
- Modify your computer’s host file to add a host entry for your domain to point to the new server IP.
- Create a test subdomain in the new server and point the A record for this subdomain to the new server IP.
- Ask for a temporary URL from your hosting provider.
