I have Apache 2.4.7 (Amazon) running in a Lightsail instance with vhost - three websites

I have not moved the DNS - yet, just testing

All is well in that when I type the static ip of the server, I get the first entry in /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost.conf - and I've tried moving each of the three to the top - they all work OK

What do I type in the browser to get the others?

I've tried <static ip>/Domain name

Here's vhost.conf

The key-point is that the webserver decides which virtual host to use based on the Host-header within the client's request.

Two possible solutions for testing:
1) You may edit your client's hosts-file and add entries for all three virtual-hosts your new server should server pointing to the new webserver.
Then you can use exactly these hostnames within your browser.
After successful testing you should remove the entries from your hosts-file.
2) Or you can use some browser-plugin to add/modify the Host-header your browser is sending to the webserver.
