 * Will this work:
 * I will make a “trial” folder inside the root folder of my server (shared hosting)
 * upload all the installation files to that folder, and begin building my site.
 * After I have a working site, copy paste all the content of “trial” folder to 
   the root folder.
 * The who reason for doing that is that I have an HTML (static) website in the 
   root folder which I wish to replace, yet I want to “air” the WP site when its
   ready and fully checked in order to keep my site from temporary functionality
   problems.

 * Yes it will work do not forget to move your html website and move to a folder
   and change urls in Settings>>>>General and reset your permalinks if used.
