[skipdns.dev]

domain.com → DNS lookup, pending…

See your site live on its real domain—before DNS ever points there.

Give us the IP and the domain. We hand you a link that talks to your new server with the right Host header. No hosts file, no waiting on propagation, nothing to install.

Links expire automatically after 7 days.

How it works

  1. 01

    Point us at the server

    Enter the IP address the domain will eventually resolve to, and the domain name itself.

  2. 02

    We generate a link

    Something like x7f2a9k1.skipdns.dev — it maps to that IP behind the scenes.

  3. 03

    Visit it like the real site

    We forward every request to your server with the correct Host header, so it serves the right site — including assets and subpages.

  4. 04

    Switch DNS whenever you're ready

    The preview link keeps working for 7 days, then quietly expires.

FAQ

Is this free?

Yes. This is a single free tool — no accounts, no paid tier.

Does this work over HTTPS?

Yes, but the origin server's TLS certificate can't be fully validated over a preview link, since the request arrives by IP rather than by domain. That's expected for a pre-launch server — don't rely on the preview link for anything beyond visual/functional checks.

Will this work on private/internal IPs?

No — private, loopback, and reserved IP ranges are blocked. The target has to be a publicly reachable server.

How long do links last?

7 days, then they're deleted automatically.
