    Hi all,

    I've just downloaded the latest version of Wordpress and am about to install it but would really like to clarify something 1st:

    Q. Do I need to have a domain name registered to use the Wordpress platform?

    I understand that the final product will need its own domain name, but while I'm editing my designs and playing around with Wordpress can I just have it hosted somewhere without an actual registered domain name linked to it.

    Thanks heaps,

    Juls

    No, I think there is no need to take registered domail while you are developing phase.

    Thanks for that.

    I'm trying to register some hosting now but it's asking me for a domain name to be associated with the host.

    Can I register a host without a domain?

    Thanks Jwalin

    What if I already have a domain and a website but only wish to use Wordpress at the moment just to learn the ropes and develop it a bit.

    I have as my site and own this domain. Can use this domain with a host (that im just about to register) and install Wordpress on it without making any changes to my current website?

    Cheers
