Testing URL different from final deployed URL?

[SparkyMark]

I am looking to move a forum over to Xenforo, and also to change the URL for the website. Unfortunately, the domain I purchased via a well known domain broker cannot be transferred to my own host for a month or so. I know that you have to 'record' the domain you intend to use with the forum software, but I was wondering if this can be changed, or is it a one time deal?

The idea was to convert/test my forum (in a password protected folder), using another domain I already have with my host, and then once the newly purchased domain is released from the broker and can be transferred I would then make the forum live under the new URL.

If it's NOT possible to change URLs once the license is allocated to a particular domain name, would it be OK to register using the final URL that the script would be deployed under, but still test it privately under a second domain?

Thanks, Mark...

The URL can be changed at any time without cost.

Test and development installations are permitted as long as they are password protected.

Thanks for that speedy reply Paul.
