Temporary URL before publishing site?

[Ronaldo Storck]

(sorry for bad english)

Hi, I'm receive an account to setup a website, but is my first time in cpanel. How do I see temporary site before publish them?

I put files on ftp but don't see them in browser.

I try:
IP/~login/
IP/~ftpaccount/

Try too create an alias but, in my plan, i having nothing.

Hello,

You can update the hosts file on your workstation so the domain name resolves to the IP address associated with the account:

hosts (file) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ensure you remove the additions to the hosts file on your workstation after the domain name is pointed to your provider's name servers.

Thank you.
