We have some customers that are complaining about using virtual directories for their sites when moving and testing.

We are using Hosing Controller 8 for our hosting control panel.
They are asking about being assigned a temporary ip address for their sites to be used while developing, testing, and awaiting DNS updates.

I know I have seen this type of set up from other hosting sites, but I do not see an option through this control panel.

Is there a way to do this through the control panel?
If not can someone suggest the easiest way to get this ‘feature’ for our clients through IIS or DNS settings?

Thanks for any and all assistance!!!
