P.Z. Low Cost CPanel Web Hosting - View Single Post - I think I already know the answer but I gotta ask...

No Allen (I think) was correct that his suggestion is the best way. I think Sheila just didn't want to re-direct from the old host (the existing atoc.com) to the new one, until she had finished a redesign.

Sheila, Allan is correct that you can force your computer to use a specific DNS server (in this case th PZ DNS server - which already thinks ATOC.com is located at the new site (whenever you add an account, the PZ DNS updates)). So if your force your computer to use that the site (for your computer, and your computer alone) will behave just as if you had already updated the domain record to point to the PZ Nameservers.

I don't think choosing a specific DNS is hard in XP... but as a Mac guy I don't have the foggiest idea how to do it... anyone?
