Temporary URL

The temporary URL is used when your domain name is not working. Here is an example of the format, your actual URL can be found in your New Account Info email.

Hosting with cPanel:
http://serverIP/~cpanelusername/
(Be sure to replace "serverIP" and "cpanelusername" with the actual values.)

Hosting with Plesk 10:
https://serverIP:8443/sitepreview/http/mydomain.com/
(Be sure to replace "serverIP" and "mydomain.com" with the actual values.)

Hosting with Plesk 8 and 9:
http://serverIP/$sitepreview/mydomain.com/
(Be sure to replace "serverIP" and "mydomain.com" with the actual values.)

Note: If you forget the trailing forward slash (at the end) the you may be redirected to a different URL.

You can actually use any domain or server name followed by /~cpanelusername/ to see that user's site. This will cause any domain on the server to show the site for the username. That's how cPanel setup works so we can't prevent this method from showing someone else's site on your domain.

Here is the format for addon and subdomains.

Hosting with cPanel:
http://serverIP/~cpanelusername/path_aka_document_root/
(Be sure to replace "serverIP", "cpanelusername", and "path_aka_document_root" with the actual values.)

Hosting with Plesk 10:
https://serverIP:8443/sitepreview/http/otherdomain.com/
(Be sure to replace "serverIP" and "otherdomain.com" with the actual values.)

Hosting with Plesk 8 and 9:
http://serverIP/$sitepreview/otherdomain.com/
(Be sure to replace "serverIP" and "otherdomain.com" with the actual values.)
