This tutorial will show you how to preview your website when you host it on a server with Plesk control panel.
This is useful in cases when you migrating to a new server and you do not want to move your domain yet because of the propagation time which can be more than 24 hours.
First login to your Plesk control panel using the administrator's account. By default this is user 'admin' .

Once you are logged in on the left navigation tab, go to 'System' and choose 'Server'

When you are into the 'Server Administration' page click on 'IP Addresses'

You will see the list of domains which are setup on the same IP. Locate the domain you need and select the radio button in front of it. Then click on the 'Set as Default' link at the top.

After the submission the change will take effect immediately so, you can log out from the control panel and preview the page as typing the IP address as URL in your browser's address bar.

      Yes, it is rather old verstion, but the preview settings in Plesk using IP address are still the same.
