Once you have purchased a web hosting package with Global Internet,
you may like to examine the functionality of the website on Global Internet
Servers before switching the website off completely from the old server. In such
a scenario, since the domain name is still mapped to the old Name Servers, using
the domain name to check the functionality from our Servers is not possible. It
is also not possible to access your website using the IP Addresses provided to
you from our end. This is because the IP Address assigned to you is a Shared IP
Address on the Virtual Hosting Server and it is shared by all the websites hosted
on that Server.At the time of configuring a hosting
package, the System automatically assigns a Temporary URL (TEMP URL) which can be used to
access the website once you have uploaded the content onto our Server. The TEMP URL is assigned in the format of:
<domain name>.yourhostingplan+os.onlyfordemo.com,
where
yourhostingplan
indicates the Hosting Plan you have purchased (Standard / Premium),
os indicates
the Operating System you have purchased the package on.
How to locate your Temporary URL?
- Login to your
Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have purchased
this hosting package.
Click here to know how >>
- In the search
results view, click on the domain name. This will take you to the Order
Details view.
- The Temporary URL will be listed in the Website Temp URL field under Order
Information.
You can test the
functionality of the website on our Server using this Temporary URL. Once you
are satisfied with the performance, you can Modify the Name Servers for the
domain name to our Name Servers so that the website can be resolved using the
domain name itself.
