Does anyone know how do I access my site on shared IP before the domain actually points to the server. I need to know this for testing purposes. The server runs Plesk.

On a CPanel machine I know it would be http://123.456.789.012/~username
but on Plesk this doesn't work.


Thanks

In short, No. There is no out of box method to do this in plesk.

Do a search here, there have been a few recent discussions on this subject with the info you need.
