 * Here’s what’s going on:
 * Revamping, redesigning, and more or less re-doing my work’s website has become
   a new project for me. We would also like to begin using WordPress. We have an
   existing website (www.eastcoastaircraft.com) hosted on Web.com but I do all the
   maintenance and updates, etc.
 * Here is my question… the start of many so, bear with me.
 * Is there a way to install WP while leaving the current website active and running
   until I can get the chosen theme working together with our new content and other
   junk?

 * If your hosting package allows it, create a subdomain and install WordPress on
   that subdomain.
 * For instance, create:
 * beta.eastcoastaircraft.com
 * and build your website there. Then when you’re ready to move it over, read these
   instructions to switch to your primary domain:

 * I didn’t even think of that! I’ll try it.
