Once you have purchased a web hosting package with HOSTBREAK.com, you may like to examine the functionality of the website on HostBreak.com 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 Servers.
If Hosted on Widnows
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 http://www.hostbreak.com/$SitePreview/domain.com, where domain name is your website name that you have hosted with us.
If Hosted on Linux
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 http://crimson.hostbreak.com/~accountusername, where ~accountusername is the account name given to you when you signup.
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.
