 * Hi all,
    I’ve designed and built a few WordPress sites before but would appreciate
   some advice for my latest project.
 * I have to build a new version of an existing site and leave the current site 
   running until the new site is ready for launch. The present site [http://www.example.co.uk](http://www.example.co.uk)
   is hosted on a different server to the new site.
 * The new site will be a multisite using sub domains (www.jobs.example.co.uk and
   [http://www.business.example.co.uk](http://www.business.example.co.uk)) on a 
   VPS.
 * In the past I’ve used a temp URL to build new versions of existing sites or made
   the new site in a sub folder. Because the multisite needs the root directory 
   I don’t think its the way to go this time, plus I can’t use a localhost workaround
   on my PC as I need access to both old and new sites from the same machine.
 * Thanks in advance.
