Before DNS propagation, you can browse your website with a temporary URL. 

Temporary URL for Linux Shared Hosting Clients

http://server-IP-address/~cpanel-username   

(You will find Server-IP-address and cPanel username in the Login Details email, which is sent to the client's registered email address)

Temporary URL for Windows Shared Hosting Clients:

In Windows shared hosting, there's no need to use a separate temporary URL anymore because the Plesk control panel includes a built-in "Preview" feature. This allows you to view your website on a temporary URL directly from the panel.

To access the "Preview" button, log in to the Plesk panel and navigate to the "Websites & Domains" section. There, you’ll find the Preview button, as shown in the screenshot.

NOTE: These temporary URLs only apply to Windows Shared Hosting and Linux Shared Hosting Customers.
