I am transferring a WP site to a HostGator shared server account. I have everything set up but want to test the site before I propagate the domain name. To do this I want to alter my Host File to point to the new server, eg:108.167.111.11 mysite.com108.167.111.11 www.mysite.comI've done this dozens of times before, but this time it's not working.I get a 404 page with the HostGator logo, so that encouraging - its getting to the right host - but not site content as expected.Would anyone know if there is a special way to do this with HostGator?
