Working on your account during the DNS propagation period

You can still work on your new account until your domain name finds it way to our servers using your temporary url, which was included in your welcoming email. One easy way to check and see if your domain is answering to our servers yet, is to create a file called "test.html" and place it in your web directory. Keep checking the URL http://www.yourdomain.com/test.html and see if it works. When it does, you'll know your domain name is answering to your account on "our servers", and has been officially transferred.
