Access websites via IP

I'm in the process of moving all of my web sites to a new hosting platform (with Vesta), but need to test each of the sites before updating the domain DNS.
How can I access my web sites via IP? Going to my IP takes me to the default.domain, so how can I access any of my other sites?
I've tried multiple versions of "
http://server-ip-address/~sitefolder" but I can't seem to figure out the correct URL.
Is this possible? I've also tried creating an alias for the domain in Vesta, but using the IP isn't a valid domain.

I do it using hosts.
Then access website using your domain.

The problem is I'm hosting multiple domains on my server.
I can access my "default" domain via IP, but I can't access any of the other ones.
example:
/home/admin/web/public_html -- points to my IP, but how would I access /home/mloring/web/public_html

Another solution:
You can add one real domain and then use your virtal domain as many as you wish.
add realdomain.com
and other domains will be virtualdomain-com.realdomain.com

I have an easier way to test before publishing the new domain
I simply add the IP and domain to the hosts file of the local operating system.
Example:
-> In Windows 10
Add this line to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
192.168.3.57 bbc.com
After adding this line and saving the file, simply access the site with your browser
http://bbc.com
