Use my vps IP as temp URL for my sites.
I'm new in the forum and new to linode and linux so I apologize if this is the wrong category for my post. I would like to test my websites before pointing my domain, so I would like to use my vps ip to see my website running. Is that possible and how can I do it?
Thanks.

What happens if you point your browser at your Linode IP (and URL path)?
You want to look into modifying your local computer's /etc/hosts file (there is also a Windows equivalent). It does exactly what you're asking.
Hope that helps,
