Temporary URL for new users

joomlaevolved · Post by **joomlaevolved** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 1:34 pm

Hi,

is it possible that I can give my clients a temporary url before they book their domain?

I would assume that using ip/~username would work, but home dirs don't seem to be enabled.

Does anybody knows how to enable it?

Thank you!

You can use one real domain for admin and your users can use alias.

For example yourdomain.com
and for user - userdomain-com.yourdomain.com

Can you please elaborate a little further on how to do this?

when you create a new domain in VestaCP, it automatically creates a temprory site alias with domain.hostname.

So you can Edit your domain and see the 2nd alias it shows and use it as temp URL

Hi everyone. I know that this is an old posting but I just cannot get this to work. I followed the instructions in the VESTACP documentation. But no luck.
In Vestacp panel the WEB shows the subdomain website-com.sub.mydomain.ca
The IP page has sub.mydomain.ca
The DNS show *.sub as an A record.
It might be that my DNS is server through cloudflare. I just don't know where to turn.
Help please!
