Work on your site behind the scenes

If you don't want to change your current website while createing a site with the HostBaby Wizard, here are a few options:


1. We can move your website over to our servers and set you up with a Wizard account on a subdomain (so it does not interrupt your current site).

            Here's what to do:
                a. sign up at http://hostbaby.com (If you haven't already)
                b. email us your FTP login info (add a note that you would like to try the Wizard on a subdomain)
                c. We'll contact you with further instructions and login info.

2. You can use an alternate domain name and we can move the site to your real domain name later. For example if your website is "supercoolmusic.com" you could buy "supercoolmusic.net" or ".org" and use that for the time being. You can always Alias it to your main domain later.

3 We can set you up with a Wizard site and you can do what's called a 'host file install' on your computer. This way you can work on your site without it actually being live online. Let us know if you want to do this. Then follow these instructions:
