    Hi there,

    Right now, we have a website that we want to rebuild from scratch on a different host. We will call that site ourdomain.com. We have chosen Bluehost as the hosting service and purchased a plan.

    We want to keep ourdomain.com live and in production on the old host while we build the new website. Because of this, when we purchased the Bluehost plan, we did not migrate ourdomain.com over to Bluehost.

    Bluehost gave us a temporary URL to build the site on. We will call that URL example.mybluehost.me.

    We want to build out this new site entirely on the example.mybluehost.me URL. That includes:

    – Menus
    – Pages
    – Images
    – Links to PDF documents
    – Plugins
    – The works

    When we are done, we want to change the example.mybluehost.me temporary URL to the
    ourdomain.com URL. Then we will point ourdomain.com to the Bluehost servers.

    Is all this possible with this plugin? If we need the pro version, that is fine, I just want to double check that we can do all this before we begin building the site. Basically, we want to update the entire site directory from the example.mybluehost.me to ourdomain.com before the site goes live.

    Again, it looks like this is what we need, just need some confirmation.

    Thank you!

    Hi Cnia,

    Certainly! Switching a temporary domain is just what this plugin in intended for :).

    The suggested procedure for making this change may be seen here.

    As far as the PRO version, if you are using plugins on your site it is recommended to use the PRO version. If you are not using plugin, the basic version will work just fine.

    Have a great rest of your weekend!
