Space to WordPress Test site for future deployment

[PaulReid]

Hi all

I need an IP in my recently purchased BlueHost space to build a demo website for future connection to a URL.

I have sent two support ticket requests since I bought BlueHost access however I have been received no reply - is everyone on holidays?

I want to build the website with WordPress which will have the domain name I signed up with pointed at this WP install.

There is nothing at this domain at the moment but I want to build a site using WordPress the have the domain point to that directory later.

I can do this on Dreamhost - how can I do it on BlueHost?

Install Wordpress into a separate folder (i.e., not on the root level) so that it's not at the top level and no one can see it. You can also password protect that folder.

When you are ready to move your Wordpress install to the root level, follow the instructions in this document:
