Hi,
You can do this :
On the
TaskBar click
Start > Run, type in '
Drivers' & press '
Enter', you'd find yourself in "
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers", now double click on '
etc' to get into it.
You'd see a "
Hosts" file there, open it with
Notepad [open Notepad & drag that hosts file into it]
Now go to the
bottom of that file, you'd see an entry such like :
127.0.0.1 localhost
Below that line
copy paste this :
Code:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx your-actual-domain.com
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www.your-actual-domain.com
Here
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the actual IP address of the server &
your-actual-domain.com is your actual domain name..
Save the file, now
Open command prompt &
ping your-actual-domain.com, it'd ping to
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx even when the web site hosting isn't
really pointing there..
Let me know if you have any further questions.
