Setting a domain to be viewable by just the IP address

To set a domain as the default for an IP address (this means you can browse to the IP address and see the website for that domain) you can log in to your Plesk control panel on your VPS and do the following:

## Go to "Server" >> "IP Addresses"
## Click the number below the 'Hosting' column along side the IP address in question
## Select (click the circle beside) the domain you want to set this up for
## Click "Set as Default"

This sets the domain to be the default for that IP address and the IP address will show up the website contents of that domain.

You just need to restart the webservice then to push out these changes:

## Under "Server" go to "Service Management"
## Click on the yellow icon to the right of the webservice (either Apache or IIS)
