Set up a Temporary URL to Access Servers

Some of clients migrate from other hosting providers. They want to verify their site is functioning properly before contacting their registrater to either point their 'A' record to the IP address of their server or change their name servers to our name servers. Other clients have a new site and have not yet registered their domain name with a registrar. The following steps outline how you add a temporary URL so you can view your website on servers before you make your website on the servers live.
If you are unsure of which version of Plesk Control Panel is controlling the web services of your server, see  How do I Determine What Version of Plesk Control Panel I am Using?
