Hi all - I am working to move an existing website over to Dreamhost and would like to test whether it works for me during the free trial period. How can I navigate to a page on the site without transferring the domain? Is there an server path name or ip address I can plug into my browser?
Thanks!
You can setup a free sub-domain and upload your site files to it.

Add something like mydomain.dreamhosters.com

Does that use up any kind of discounts or freebies that I might want to use for my actual site later?
The trick is to create a subdomain. I’m sure these articles will help
