Post subject:  Preview site without DNS setup

I have a number of sites on my Linode. I would like to be able to preview them before the DNS is setup.

This doesn't help https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/ ... ithout-dns because it only addresses a single site.

What I'm looking for is something like

Code:
http://99.88.77.165/home/admin/web/something.com/public_html


Thanks!

You can put as many host names as you like in a hosts file entry, e.g.:
Code:
99.88.77.165   foo.example.com bar.example.org baz.example.net


All three of those host names would then resolve to 99.88.77.165. Your web server configuration would decide which site to serve based on the "Host:" line sent by the web browser. For example, requesting http://baz.example.net/home/admin/web/ would cause the browser to send baz.example.net in the Host: field.

Thanks Vance,

Editing the vhosts file on Linode was the missing piece.
