Browsing before resolving

It will be a little while before I change nameservers over, and am hoping to verify my site content is loading properly beforehand.
Is the there a way I can do this on www6 (i.e. some combination like www6.prioritycolo.com/!username)?

Usually resellers can do it with the following format:
Http://[ip address + 1]/~username/
So if you set the domain up on say 66.11.162.40 it would be:
http://66.11.162.41/~username/

I have been pulling my hair out wondering why this wouldn't work until I noticed the "+1" on the IP address. Before that I was getting server 511 errors.
Just out of curiiosity, why is the +1 required?
I honestly have no clue and wondered the same about this when we first set it up. All I know is thats the way it's always been, and apparently thats the way in which many of them function. My guess would be that the module that does the /~username/ does not end up loading/recognizing the same IP address that the domain is on for any given reason (why exactly, I have no idea).
