Hello, Thank you for your question regarding using BoldGrid while a nameserver change is processing. Yes, you can use a hosts file modification to point to your accounts IP address and begin working on your site. This causes your computer to resolve to our servers. Be sure to remove the host file rule after your site's nameservers change has fully propagated. Thank you, John-Paul
