Site access w/o domain transfer

Hi guys,

I registered for a DH account and have yet to transfer over my domain from my current host. Before I do the transfer, I wanted to setup my DH account to be what I already have such that when I do transfer the domain over, things will switch over seemlessly to my visitors.

I know I can access my account on DH for FTP and SSH access by going directly to the server I am hosted on.

But it looks like I can't get to the server using a browser, does anyone have any idea how I could do this?

Regards

Viewing your site before your domain is up!

If you'd like to view your uploaded site on our servers (to check that everything is working, or whatever!) before your domain is up, you can! Simply go to the Domain > Add Domain area of our web panel and add a free dreamhosters.com sub-domain (e.g. "yourdomain.dreamhosters.com"). Choose it to be a "mirror" domain and set it up to mirror your real domain that hasn't gone live yet. When you're done, within an hour you'll be able to see your site at http://yourdomain.dreamhosters.com/ exactly as it will be when your domain is transferred!

Good luck,

BobS

That's awesome. Thank you very much.
