Website redesign best practice with multiple ip address?
I have Wiredtree hosting with 3 available ip addresses. I currently have example.com live after a hosting migration that just took place and the website is on one of my available ip addresses.
My original plan was to have the website redesigned before host migration and redirect URL's since I'm able to direct domain using an A record but the timetable didn't work. So, the current website is being redesigned and moving from a combination of both Expression Engine and Wordpress to just Wordpress.
With the availability of multiple ip addresses should I just design my new website on another ip address and then point domain to that ip address?
I'm thinking this sounds logical as it would allow me to make sure redirects were correct since some URL's will be changing.
Thanks in advance for your time.
