Hello!
I have just created a droplet on ubuntu, then instaled zpanel. The problem is taht when i try to access the zpanel interface in my web browser with the subdomain set by zpanel (zpanel.domain.com) it shows nothing, probably because there’s no DNS pointing to it, am i right?
I want to do some tests in a temporary domain, to put all my site files and test everything, to only then change the DNS. How do i do that? How to use Zpanel to do my tests before propagating DNS?

You can edit <code>/etc/hosts</code> locally in order to test zPanel before updating the DNS records.
