    It's easy if your using cPanel Control Panel - just go to 'Password Protect Directories' under the security settings & set a password on your root directory. Anyone going to the page will be asked to enter a password to continue but you'll be able to login & get your site setup.

      Just go back to the same place in cPanel & delete the password protection. Give it a try.

        Add to your .htaccess file this piece of code:

        PHP Code:
        order allow,deny
        deny from all
        allow from YOUR IP HERE 


        Upload it on ROOT directory of your website.

    You can also go to Settings->Privacy->Ask search engines not to index this site. (select this one).

    This way, your site will be live but Google and other search engines should ignore it.
