Hello all,
I currently have a WordPress website with a host and a domain (different sites).
I’d like to
A) remove the domain assigned to it
B) Work on the website, offline, and then when its ready, have it be live.
Can this be done? Should I disconnect from the host?
Thank you all

You keep the website up, but use a coming soon plugin like CMP [https://wordpress.org/plugins/cmp-coming-soon-maintenance/])
Note that whilst you have a “coming soon” page active, if google attempts to index your site it will be unsuccessful, meaning your SERP will be either removed or demoted – so be careful.
Major site changes should be done on a separate staging server.
