Hi all.

I just set-up a new client with the basic web hosting package and want to build their site using WordPress.  They currently have their site set-up at another hosting company and I was hoping I could build their new site on the LP servers before they redirected their nameservers here, that way they wouldn't have any interruption in service.

However, after installing WordPress on their account, I realized that I can't access the WP login admin page unless their domain name is rerouting to the LP account.

So now I don't know what to do.  I can't use their temporary LP server URL even.  Do I need to copy all their current website files, upload them to LP, reroute the domain names and then build?  Or is there some way to get around this so that I can build the site using WP before actually redirecting the domain name to the LP server.

Any help someone could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay I will try that Mitch.  I hope that it will work because I know there current site is like TOTALLY out of control, done in frames, etc. and moving everything will be a nightmare.  I'd like to try and avoid it if I can.

Sincerely,

Kathy

Mitch,

I did what you had suggested and have been working with support since yesterday.  They just set-up a subdomain for me at myplaceonline.org so I can build my clients site there and then they would redirect it back to our domain when we are ready to move the dns nameservers.

However, when I went to the subdomain they set-up for me at myplaceonline.org my antivirus protection went off and redirected me away from the site giving me the following message:

.myonlineplace.org/ may try to steal your information.

Why were you redirected to this page? When we visited this site, we found it may be designed to trick you into submitting your financial or personal information to online scammers. This is a serious security threat which could lead to identity theft, financial losses or other dissemination of personal information.

Can you tell me what this is all about?  What is myonlineplace.org and why would I be getting this type of message?  I have serious concerns about building anything for my client in this location if security can be compromised.  I've never seen this message go off like this visiting a website and I'm not sure what to do now.

Thanks!

McAfee Security Center, the Site Advisor is what is flagging it.  I'm all up-to-date with everything.  Like I said before when I try to go to the URL of the subdomain that they gave me to build the site on temporarily, McAfee redirects me to a warning page telling me that the website has been flagged as a phishing site.

subdomainLPsetup.myonlineplace.org/ may try to steal your information.

I just emailed support and asked them to please put everything back the way it was.  I truthfully cannot risk doing anything that could jeopordize their site or information.
