Previewing a new domain before moving that domain

[jphindin]

Greetings;

A user has added a new domain, say xyzzy.com, which is stored in user/domains/xyzzy.com as you'd expect.
Currently their domain points to a different host, once they're satisfied with a new webpage they're developing they will point the domain from the old host to our DA box.

This is probably a daft question, but how can they preview this page before having the domain moved to it?
Something along the lines of serveraddr.com/~user/domains/xyzzy.com would be nice - but of course does not work.

My thanks;

This question has been asked and answered many times.

Have you tried searching the forum?

Ugh

Ugh, I feel like an asshole.

I _did_ search... I just suck at thinking up good search terms. I... uh. Have little excuse. Reap node at will.

I'd just use the word "preview" (without the quotes).

That might get you a few more to look at then you need, but it'll work.

And you can probably tell from the titles that come up which posts to look at.
