How to install WordPress before domain propagation, Hostgator

HostGator lets you install WordPress before domain propagation using the special link:

http://geo.temp.domains/~username/

“username” needs to be the username for your HostGator hosting account.

1. Log into your HostGatot hosting account cPanel.
2. Install WordPress using ‘QuickInstall’.
3. After you install WordPress, click on ‘PHPMyAdmin’ in cPanel.
4. Click on the ‘wp-optoins’ table.
5. Next change the ‘option_value’ for fields ‘option_name’ ‘siteurl’ and ‘home’ to be the temporary url.

Note: when the domain propagates, you must change ‘option_name’ back to the original URLs.
