  I downloaded the template I want to use. Can I start building BEFORE choosing a domain? I dont’ want it going live yet.

  Hi @bentrain, sure thing. Will you be using our service? I ask because if you downloaded a template from a third party, you’ll need the Business Plan to use it here. If you’re running your own installation with a different service provider, you’ll want to check in with your host about temporary domain options there.

  Our plans include hosting, maintenance, security, and support. You can set up your site on a temporary domain before your site goes live. And the Business Plan includes two free Quick Start Support sessions as well.
