Temporary URL

[amaisonneuve]

I currently have VestaCP setup on my production box its domain is xyz.com

I'm moving external clients to this box, how do i go about setting up temporary domain url so that users can test the site prior to cuting over the A record at the Domain Registrar?

Looking at the documentations is a little confusing: (https://vestacp.com/docs/#how-to-config ... ew-domains)

In my case i only have one IP associated with this server.

So is the "tophost.ltd" xyz.com?

where an how to i specify the "NewDomain"

i don't mind either result:

NewDomain.xyz.com

or

xyz.com/NewDomain

either is totally acceptable for me.

And when we are ready to go live and cut over at the registrar, what are the steps in Vesta?

Just setup the hosting with the real domain name for example domain-name.tld, then add a alias test.domain-name.tld. Now you point the alias on the right server ip and the customer can check the site, if all works, change ip of domain-name.tld and remove the test alias.

did not work for me. Anyone have an example on how to set this up?
