I think there was a post on this a while back. Is there anywhere files can be viewed before a domain transfer occurs? Do the files get put in a users directory or somthing similar that may be viewable?

I have something that works on a RaQ3, unfortunately it doesn't work on my new machine. What do you have?

Anyway, if it is a RaQ3, this is what I always did:

Create a subdomain off a domain that does resolve.
In that subdomain, put this .htaccess file in the web folder:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [P]

-that worked for me, though it is a few step process I realize.
