Massive site transfer

    Hello!

    I’ve been running a music website for just over two years now. When I began it, it was very much a small personal project. Fast forward two years and it’s nationwide in Australia, and industry recognised.

    Link – http://www.the59thsound.com/

    My problem?

    The web host I use just can’t match the content. It’s very basic.

    I started on Weebly because I had no idea about blogging or html coding, website construction. It’s done me well until now, when I need to move into the next phase of the site.

    I want to move onto WordPress, specifically using this theme which I’ve already purchased. Link – https://www.gavick.com/wordpress-themes/rockwall,126.html

    However, I think I’ve under estimated what needs to be done.

    Ideally, I’d like to build this site in secret and re-lauch later in the year, and manually port all of my content over to WordPress. However, this will take me quite a bit of time, and I’d like to keep the current site running while this happens.

    The problem is, WordPress says I need to register with a host and FTP to install the Gavick profile, and to register a domain name, most likely on Bluehost. I understand all this.

    My question is, can I begin construction under an alias URL, and later switch over to http://www.the59thsound.com, or do I have to change it to a http://www.the59thsound.com upon signing up with Bluehost?

    Is it possible to change your url once signed up with Bluehost?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
