Some of our hosting services allow you to preview your website using a temporary URL, this can be done using the following format: http://IP/~username

Example: http://000.000.000.000/~yourusername

If you are unsure on your IP and username please check your welcome email or contact the support team via a support ticket.

However our standard shared hosting does not permit this due to configurations, but what we recommend for everyone when wanting to preview your website is to change your local hosts file. We have a FAQ showing how easy this is to do: http://www.hostmedia.co.uk/client/knowledgebase/54/How-to-change-your-local-machines-host-file-to-preview-your-site.html
