Access Site Before DNS Propogation?

mwsmedia · September 13th, 2004, 2:02 AM

I suspect there's a way to see my pages before the WWW recognizes that I've changed nameservers... can someone help me out?

Thanks so much!

Matt

http://IPADDRESS/~username/

It should have been mentioned in the welcome e-mail.

Thank you, Mike.

I've been waiting for a new post for about an hour now, and I see one and already answered. SIGH.

I thought that, but is that the same IP address as the path to my CPanel?

It sure is.

well, I try that, but it doesn't accept my password, and then gives me an Error 401 page (authentification required.)

THanks for the rapid responses, by the way...

What doesn't accept your password, cPanel?

Are you using the username and password that were provided to you in the welcome e-mail? The username you choose when signing up for the account is generally not the same one you receive for cPanel access.

Err, right -- I've now tried it with the CPanel IP address (http://IP/~mwsmedi) and I get a "cannot find server" page. Strange.

Meanwhile, I know something's going on with the propogation, because my regular website address (http://www.mwsmedia.com) is getting some funky php errors...

This is never easy...!

Thanks again for helping.
