We have been getting many emails saying what’s the best way to preview their website before changing the main sites DNS / A:Records over… Well we have found a simple but easy way to preview websites, its as simple as creating a sub domain. Just like a full domain name a sub domain can be pointed to our Railo servers in the US and we can then add it to the service. (Example below)
What we see:
<Host name=”#domain.com#” appBase=”webapps”unpackWARs=”true” autoDeploy=”true”xmlValidation=”false” xmlNamespaceAware=”false”><Context path=”" docBase=”/home/#username#/#domain.com#/” /><Alias>#www.domain.com#</Alias><Alias>#subdomain.com#</Alias></Host>
Key:
Grey: Standard host text we add when we get a new order
Black: What we add for your sub domain to work on the main domain
So in conclusion with your current domain owner or hosting provider you will need to create a sub domain name, anything you would like (Example: railo.yourdomain.com) and point it to own Railo IP which is in your ‘Welcome Account Information’.
