You can preview only domain with this not subdomains.

What OS are you running on your personal computer? If it is windows, you can fool your computer into thinking that the subdomain points to a different ip address(the new one), rather than the old one. This will let you test it out before actually changing it over.

Open C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts in notepad
On the bottom of the file, add the following line
ipa.ddd.res.s domainName
For example, to map ebosa.com to 82.165.184.105, you could add this:
82.165.184.105 ebosa.com
On the bottom of the file, add the following line
ipa.ddd.res.s domainName
For example, to map ebosa.com to 82.165.184.105, you could add this:
82.165.184.105 ebosa.com

Ok i did that. And what now? is ex. ebosa.com web on new server? And how can i see subdomain just name.ebosa.com ?

Well, you would put name.ebosa.com instead of ebosa.com in the file. And for the ip address, you would put the new ip address for that server. Then, restart your computer, and name.ebosa.com will point to the new ip address when you try to access it from your server.

Yes. My file has about 1 to 35 entries in its file at any given time. I just map them to 127.0.0.1 while I am developing a script, and then I remove them, and ftp the script to the server. Since my local machine and the server use the same OS, it removes the possibility of breaking the site in a code roll out. Very usefull. Do you know much about compiling and installing php on a plesk server?

Wouldn't it be:
ip1 subdomain1.domain.com
ip2 subdomain2.domain.com
not
ip1 subdomain1
ip2 subdomain2
Just takin' a stab in the dark here.
ip1 subdomain1.domain.com
ip2 subdomain2.domain.com
not
ip1 subdomain1
ip2 subdomain2
