could them not login to webmin (them can use any domain on your system), use filemanager and edit webpages and view website and such?
I actually have it in the mail that's sent out, if they wait on domain propagation and already want to log in with ftp to upload stuff. https://iphere:10000 the ip is no secret and makes it only more practical in some cases.
this you can activate in the server template virtual server creation
o you can always create an alias if it already exist.
something.example.com where example.com is any domain reachable on your server
Ya, I used webmin to allow them to see there site, But thats not really ideal. And it is complicated for a new user. Also if they want someone else to view the design that other person would have to login to webmin, which would not be good.
This is a complicated answer since you gave no hint on the distro you are using.
But a general answer is this:
Install the apache mod that allows userspace public_html
If you have changed the way the websites are stored you may have to change how ~/public_html is found.
I thought there was a way to create an alias for a subdomain of your hosting account that would allow the customer to view the site with full functionality.
Your hosting domain example.com
Customer new domain something.com
they can see their site at something.example.com
Don't remember how but I believe Joe explained it here somewhere.
