    If you want to preview newdomain.com on new centminmod server without updating DNS, on Windows PC edit your windows HOSTS file at c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts (see guide at Modify your hosts file | Knowledge Center | Rackspace Hosting or install Hostman app HostsMan - abelhadigital.com which can manage the file too and allows easy dns flushing when you make changes to the hosts file.

    c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts contents to preview without DNS update
    Code:
    centminmodserver-ip-address newdomain.com
    to disable preview comment it out and flush dns for your system
    Code:
    #centminmodserver-ip-address newdomain.com
    Hostsman app to flush dns and edit the c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file

    i made a clean install of cenmin locally and i would like to test a site there
    where should i put the contents of the site? in which directory in order to be able to see them locally opening a browser?

    everything is same locally as it is normally on server so public is your webroot location as outlined at Nginx Vhost & NSD DNS Setup - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS and step 1 of Getting Started Guide

    the above domain preview can be for any domain even one that doesn't exist - that's how i do tests locally myself as well i.e. newdomain2.com domain i used for wordpress centmin.sh 22 install outline at Getting Started Guide - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

    hosts file edit would just be
    Code (Text):
    centminmodserver-ip-address newdomain2.com
