# View WP site on previous host

 * I migrated a wp site to a new host and changed a few things.
    Now, I’d like to
   doublecheck a couple of things on the “old” site. Of course, I can point the 
   DNS to the old host, but I’m wondering if there is a way to view the old site
   using the IP of the previous host.
 * Thanks

 * You should be able to do this by editing your computers hosts file:
    [Here is an article](https://docs.rackspace.com/support/how-to/modify-your-hosts-file)
   from Rackspace about how to do that based on your operating system.
 * Hope this helps.
