  Hi, I am a current BlueHost user and I currently have a website I would like to update using WordPress. How do I go about designing a new site using WP without taking my old site down? It may take a several weeks for me to complete so I need to keep my old site until I am ready to launch the new one.

  I did install WordPress through my BlueHost control panel but it redirected my customers to WordPress (at my dot com address) so I had to uninstall it until I figure a way around it.
