Setting up email without site going live

[AUNEST]

Hi there,

I wanted to know how I can set up an email without the site going live. Once I've added the domain into the domain area it goes live. I'm not ready for it to go live, but I want the email to work.

Does anyone know how to get around this? It's a bit of a newbie question, but I looked at the knowledgebase and couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

Hi Aunest,

Even if you could set up the email, it wouldn't work until the site is live anyways.

Unless, maybe you are talking about once the site hosting is paid for? Then there is a very easy solution here in this Kiyuco tutorial.

Hi Aunest,

Brad's correct on this. You have to pay for the site to use email and you also have to delegate your domain to us. There's no way around this.

So, to clarify, is the best way to handle this to set up a temporary "under construction" page*, hide all the other pages from view until we are ready to publish, pay for hosting, delegate the domain, and set up the email accounts which will go live as soon as the temporary page goes live?
