I am about to have GoDaddy do the install for me but would like the current (ugly) version of the site to remain in place until the new WP version is complete, is this possible maybe by simply renaming a file?
Thank's all

Would I be able to install to my local hard drive and build the site there and then upload to Godaddy thus leaving the old site in place? It looks like from your referral that a maintenance notice would go up instead of the old site remaining site place. Since I am new to WP it could take me awhile to learn to work with it and I would like to leave my old site up until ready if at all possible.
Thank's

Yes, it is possible to set WordPress up the way you want it on your localhost using XAMPP or otherwise. Then transfer it to your host.
