Re: [cobalt-users] how do you get a new member to upload without dns resolved?

["Roy A. Urick" <rurick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the client add an entry in the hosts file when it HAS to be done...
(its what I do when I am developing  a new site on my server)

the slightly devious thing is if/when they change hosting providers, they
can pull thier hair out trying to get access to the new server unless the
new hosting company has some sharp techs.... *evil laugh*
