Hi,
I have a website for mydomain.com which isn't ready to go live just yet. Temporarily I'd like to use temp.mydomain.com to preview the site until it's ready to go live. In Plesk I've created a domain mydomain.com and uploaded the website files to it. Now I'd like to bind the 'temp' subdomain so that it points to this site, so we can use it for preview until we're ready to switch the DNS for the main domain, but when I create a subdomain in Plesk it seems to create a whole new empty site. I effectively just want to add a binding of temp.mydomain.com to the mydomain.com domain, like you would in IIS.
Is this possible or do I need to scrap mydomain.com, create temp.mydomain.com as a new subdomain from scratch and then upload the site/database again there, then try to figure out how to change that subdomain back to a 'full' domain when ready to go live? It feels like that is quite a hassle for something seemingly so trivial, so I feel I must be missing something!
Does anyone know if it's possible to just bind a subdomain to an existing website in Plesk?
Many thanks for any help folks.
