Website Preview – How do I preview my websites before updating the DNS?

Last updated on May 03, 2025

If your domain hasn’t yet been pointed to our servers — or you just want to test your site before going live — our new Website Preview tool makes it easy. You can generate a temporary preview link that lets you view your site without needing to update DNS settings.

This feature is now available in your Hosting Control Panel under Extra Features.


🔐 Step 1: Access the Hosting Control Panel

If you're not already logged in, follow this guide:
👉 How to Access Your Web Hosting Control Panel


🌐 Step 2: Open the Website Preview Tool

  1. Once in the control panel, scroll down or use the search bar to find Extra Features

  2. Click on Website Preview

You’ll see a list of domains associated with your account.


🔧 Step 3: Generate or View a Preview Link

  • If a preview link has already been generated, you’ll see a temporary .prevu.io URL next to your domain

  • Click Open Preview to view the site in a new tab

  • If a preview hasn’t been created yet, click Generate Preview URL

This creates a link like:

yourdomain.prevu.io


📅 Important Notes

  • Preview links expire automatically after 14 days

  • Performance may be slightly slower when using a preview URL

  • The preview uses your live hosting account and files — so you can test real content and functionality


🧠 When to Use This

  • You’re migrating a site and want to confirm it works before pointing DNS

  • You’re working with a developer and want to share a private preview

  • You want to test a staging or new design version before go-live
