Previewing Web page content

Quick-start guide: home 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

After you have copied your Web page content to your site, you can preview it in a browser.

To preview your home page:

- In the address field of a browser program, type your site name. For example:

http://<domain_name.com>/

where <domain_name.com> is your site name.

To preview other pages or files:

- In the address field of a browser program, type your site name followed by / and the new file name. For example:

h ttp://<domain_name.com>/<filename>

where <domain_name.com> is your site name and <filename> is the name of the page you want to preview.

- Note: If you have had your site name for more than 48 hours and cannot access it over the Internet, contact your site name registrar to make sure the DNS information for your site is correct. If your site is less than 48 hours old, you can preview it as described below.

# Previewing the content of new domains

If your site is less than 48 hours old, the DNS information for the site might not have had time to propagate to all servers on the Internet, and your site might not be available for general viewing. However, you can still preview the content and CGI scripts used on your domain.

To preview the content of a new domain:

In the a ddress field of your Internet browser, enter the following URL:

http://<server_IP_address>/~admin<#>

where:

- <server_IP_address> is the IP address of the control panel server on which your site is hosted, and

- # is the site preview number.

- Note: The site preview number is assigned when your service provider sets up your site. The number appears in the Web server section of the Configuration page.
