How to Preview a Temporary Website in cPanel

Preview a site before DNS points to Cid Hosting using a temporary URL from cPanel (when your plan shows one).

Find a temporary link

  1. Log in to cPanel from clients.cidhosting.net.
  2. Look under General Information / Domains for a temporary URL, or ask support for the current method for your account.
  3. Open that URL in a browser to check files under public_html.

Tip: Temporary URLs are for testing — go live with your real domain and correct DNS when ready. We do not publish physical server hostnames in Help.

Need the right link for your account? clients.cidhosting.net/submitticket.php.
