How to use temporary shared URLs to access your site
This article describes how to use a shared URL (which is also sometimes called a "temporary URL") to access your site. With a shared URL, you do not have to use your domain name to view your site. This feature is useful for website testing, or if you have not configured your domain name settings yet.
Some content management systems (CMS) and web applications may not display correctly when you use a shared URL. This is because they are configured to use your domain name, which is different from the shared URL. For example, you must update two database settings every time you use a different domain name with WordPress.
Temporary Domain
Replace “username” with your VIP Mission Hosting account username to view your website.
- http://username.wwwsg1-sr1.supercp.com
Accessing Subdomains and Addon domains
If you have configured a subdomain or addon domain for your account, you can also access them using a shared URL.
NB Subdomains and addon domains are only accessible using a shared URL if the document root is within the public_html directory.
Subdomains: To access a subdomain, add its basename to the end of the shared URL.
- For example, to access the subdomain “test” use the URL http://username.wwwsg1-sr1.supercp.com/test
Addon domains: To access an addon domain, add it to the end of the shared URL.
- For example, if your addon domain is example.com, use the URL http://username.wwwsg1-sr1.supercp.com/example.com
