I'm pretty sure it's possible, I just don't exactly know how to; but I was wondering how I could view/test my website(s) without changing the DNS?
I'm migrating my websites from provider X (server IP: 159.253.1.196
) to provider Y (server IP: 95.85.38.205
) and before changing the DNS and I would like to test everything.
I might have done this before, by changing my host file
, but I'm not completely sure if that's the right way, or even how do, again.
Since I should be able to access the old server, too, there should be a rather easy way to check the website on the new and old location, in best case simultaneously, but switching from one to another wouldn't be much a problem. The best solution therefor would be to have the new server been shown in Firefox, and the old server is shown in Chrome, but I'm unsure if you can change browser dependently..
Thanks in advance!
