That's a Rails thing.  Development mode only really applies when you're 
working on the Radiant codebase or an extension and you need to debug 
things.

Previewing pages is more a function of the hostname than the 
runtime-environment.  For example, when I want to preview pages on 
seancribbs.com, I go to dev.seancribbs.com.  This is a baked-in default 
of Radiant. Of course, you'll have to make sure your DNS is set up 
correctly.
