Where to get IP address to test WordPress transfer

I am going through the process of transferring my Wordpress.com blog to inmotionhosting.com, and think I got down all the steps except the last one where I test my site locally before switching over the DNS records.

To do this on my mac, I know I need to edit my hosts file, but when I got to the 'Expand Stats' area on the CPanel page, I only see the IP address for my main domain, languageontrack.com. I want to get the IP address for the new domain I added, which is selftaughtjapanese.com. Right now this domain is still pointing to wordpress.com's servers so I can't do anything (including the import process or testing) without modifying my hosts file.

Where do I get this IP address so I can put it in my hosts file?

Hello, Thanks for the question about finding your IP address. If you have subscribed to a business hosting account, then you will find the IP address in the cPanel. This article will show you how to find it. If you have a vps or dedicated server account, you can find the IP address of the account by looking at the account list in WHM. I hope this helps to answer your question, please let us know if you require any further assistance. Regards, Arnel C.
