• Dear Pleskians! The Plesk Forum will be undergoing scheduled maintenance on Monday, 7th of July, at 9:00 AM UTC. The expected maintenance window is 2 hours.
    Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding on the matter.

Subdomain preview?

Yes...but not in Plesk.

You can edit your hosts file on your local comp. This file acts as a local DNS server, and is the first referenced point to look for ips.

The hosts file is in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc on XP.
1) Notice there is no file extension. This is correct.
2) MAKE A BACKUP.
3) Open the file in notepad and add a line like...

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx subdomain.domain.com # My New Subdomain


4) Save the file, close and reopen internet browsers.

They should go to the correct place. If you don't change it back it will stay there forever. You can use this for regular domains too, just remember that just cause you can see it doesn't mean your customers can.
