How to Preview Your Website on Our Servers

Updated on April 8, 2022

Whether you’re just starting a website and don’t want it to go live right away while you work on it, or we’ve just migrated your site to our servers, this article will show you how to preview your site on our servers without it going live. In this post, we’ll go over each of the most popular operating systems now in use.

In your browser, you can see a short preview of your site. All you have to do is go to https://sitepreview.org/ to use a free online tool to instantly preview your website. All you have to do is enter your domain name and this online tool will figure out which server your site is on. You can untick the field labeled “Lookup IP against mysecurecloudhost.com nameservers” if your domain has been added to numerous servers from us or if an issue occurs. You’ll need to manually input the IP address in the second field, and then you’re ready to go.
