Comment: Improved instructions on sandbox server testing

...

Info

To facilitate development, you can point your site to our sandbox server, which only caches Umbraco content for 1 minute. This makes rapid-fire change & -and-test cycles much easier.

To set this up, you will need to edit your HOSTS file to create an alias URL for your site.

If your Photo Finale site address is dealer-name.photofinale.com or www.dealer-name.com, you want to add an entry to your HOSTS file (replacing "dealer-name" with your specific site name):

No Format
65.246.16.150 dealer-name.pfsandbox.com

You'll now be able to hit the sandbox version of your site at any time by using that address (http://dealer-name.pfsandbox.com).

(Note: When you first hit your site on the sandbox server there may be a 1-2 minute delay while your site's data is initially loaded into memory.)
