How can I visit my site before propagation?
There are two methods that have varying chances of success.
Method One:
1) You can use your domain's server IP address, plus your username like this:
http://x.x.x.x/~your_username
For instance, if the IP address for your server is 2.2.2.2 and your username was joe, you can view your site using:
http://2.2.2.2/~joe/
Method Two:
Open up your hosts file in your local computer. It is usually located in c:winntsystem32driversetchosts.
Add two entries to your hosts file like this:
x.x.x.x domain.com
and
x.x.x.x www.domain.com
Where the x.x.x.x is your server's IP address.
