Can I access my site before updating DNS records?

Hello all, I'm coming to HelioHost from another hosting company that I prefer not to deal with any longer. My domain is kuribosshoes.com, and that currently still points to the old hosting site.

 

It's a WordPress blog that I'd like to migrate over, but I don't want the site to experience any downtime right now. Instead, I'd like to be able to configure it and get it set up before switching my DNS info to Helio's server.

 

Is there a path to access my site for now so that I can get all the WordPress stuff set up? Maybe an IP address or something? I looked around but couldn't find this info in the forums.

 

Thanks!

No. If you registered for a heliohost subdomain (and added your main domain as a parked domain), you can visit that, but if you registered "kuribosshoes.com", you won't be able to access your site until you point the nameservers to ours.
