Well we did it,
The MOST requested feature; a way to preview and work on your WordPress site before switching your nameserver’s; is live. How about them apples?
What in the world are we talking about?
Before: A customer signed up on page.ly electing to use their own domain they had to change the nameserver’s or use a A record hack before being able to view and work on their new site.
Now: All new sites created with an existing domain get a sweet preview url mapped to their site so they can log in immediately and work on their site. When ready the user just switches to their primary domain and presto.
Note: The new feature is only available on existing domains/site transfers. Fresh domain registrations resolve within seconds and therefore do not need a preview url.

When you sign up for WordPress Hosting from page.ly with an existing domain a temporary url is created for your website.


Just login and work on your site… and then when you are ready Switch it Live. By doing so a script will change all references of the temp url, to your primary domain and away you go to internet fame.
However this is a 1-time/1 way process. So use the Temp Url as long as you need to and be sure you have changed your Nameservers and that your primary domain is resolving to the page.ly servers before switching to live mode.

Easy Cheezy eh? Now what are you waiting for, Signup for WordPress Hosting from page.ly today and be the master of your domain.


Cheers! :-)
