Am new at this. I have BlueHost hosting, my domain registered with another co, and have just started building my site on wordpress but I have seen it's already live. How do I 'hide' or take offline it till I have built it? I don't want anyone to stumble upon it yet. Somewhat urgent it comes off. Please Help. And Thanks in advance!
If you just want it to not be visible to people while working on it try Maintenance Mode plugin.
Your visitors will see a customized page with a custom message from you that the site is unavailable or offline or whatever. The new version even has a countdown timer if you know when the site will be back online.
Just search for Maintenance Mode in the plugins directory.

The maintenance mode and privacy plug-ins don't make the sites invisible, they only make it accessible to certain people. I want to remove it completely so that Google can't see it either. Anyone know how to do that?
