Actually, it is quite simple and not really all that special.

On a Windows system their is a file called "hosts". It is located in
C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc This file is used as a local DNS lookup where
you can set the IP and the URL in that file. Save the file and the next
time you go to access something via the network, it will use the IP you
set for any given domain.

So in that file I simply add...
// Your IP Your domain
222.222.222.222 www.yordomain.com

and so I and I then have access via domain name even though the real DNS
is not yet set for the world. This you can make any domain point to any IP
with this file. (Example...in your hosts file set... 222.222.222.222
www.google.com and you will see you then pull that server. Have
fun...play tricks on your friends. (No don't, thats just crewl.)



Enjoy publshing any site without domain propogation.

Take care..

Hello,


What should be the DNS server at that time of the local machine?

Is it mean that DNS function on local system first check the domain entries in hosts file instead of contacting the DNS server of the local machine ?.

Please let us know.

Hi Anil,

No there isn't any chnages been required to make on your local machine. The only chnage to be done are in your file at

C:/:WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/host

Just append the line with your IP (your server IP where your account is located) and domian name.

222.222.222.222 anil.com

Now after doing that when you publish your site then it will ask for domainname, user , pass fro that server.

Now when you punch that domain in the browser then as it will get that IP from your local machine it will show your page seems that it's propogated for you ( only for your computer) not for outside world and that page you can see as uploaded on the server.

Just try this out and you will have a better idea..
