Once you have purchased a web hosting package with Gossimer, you may like to examine the functionality of the website on Gossimer Servers before switching the website off completely from the old server. In such a scenario, since the domain name is still mapped to the old Name Servers, using the domain name to check the functionality from our Servers is not possible. It is also not possible to access your website using the IP Addresses provided to you from our end. This is because the IP Address assigned to you is a Shared IP Address on the Virtual Hosting Server and it is shared by all the websites hosted on that Server.
At the time of configuring a hosting package, the System automatically assigns a Temporary URL (TEMP URL) which can be used to access the website once you have uploaded the content onto our Server. The TEMP URL is assigned in the format of:
<domain name>.yourhostingplan+os.onlyfordemo.com, where
yourhostingplan indicates the Hosting Plan you have purchased (Standard / Premium),
os indicates the Operating System you have purchased the package on.
How to locate your Temporary URL?
- Login to your Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have purchased this hosting package. Click here to know how >>
- In the search results view, click on the domain name. This will take you to the Order Details view.
- The Temporary URL will be listed in the Website Temp URL field under Order Information.
You can test the functionality of the website on our Server using this Temporary URL. Once you are satisfied with the performance, you can Modify the Name Servers for the domain name to our Name Servers so that the website can be resolved using the domain name itself. Click here to determine our Name Servers that you need to modify your domain name to, to access your website >>

Indexing Service (formerly known as Index Server) is integrated with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) and the Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system to allow web searching on corporate intranets and Internet sites.
Once enabled, it automatically builds an index of your website that can be easily searched from any web browser with the sample query forms. Indexing maps words to documents, and to locations within documents.
The same way that an index in a book maps an important word to a page inside the book, content indexing on a computer takes a word within a document and maps it back to that document.
This feature is currently not supported on Gossimer web servers.
