I am migrating my site from one hosting to another. I have imported the site and data, now i just want to check if my site is working before I add the nameservers to the hosting. I am using Vestacp as control panel and nginx as a server. I am also using more than one domains on single ip address. So I cannot use ip address to access the website. I could have used temporary urls if it would have been the case of apache but its not so, please can anyone help. Thank you in advance.

Thanks, It worked…
Windows: Browse to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc and open the hosts file. Mac: Open Terminal -> Type: su (login with your account) -> Type: nano /private/etc/hosts
On both systems add the follow line: serveripadres www.domain.com
Example: 170.149.172.130 www.domain.com
Windows flush dns: open cmd -> type: ipconfig /flushdns Mac (sierra) flush dns: Open Terminal -> Type: sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder -> Confirm with password
Done!

Edit the hosts file of the computer you want to access the site from.
