On a linux dedicated server which has DirectAdmin control panel on it, if you have couple of sites under your user account and you need to view the site without changing the DNS. You can view the default domain by the URL;

http://server-ip/~username/

But, if you have an addon domain and need to view the site without changing the DNS, you can set the addon domain to default and view it with the above URL. The other way is to set the IP and domain name in the hosts file in your windows system.

That’s it!
