    Creating a testsite on a different hosting site

    I have a vBulletin 3.8 forum running in one location and wish to install 4.2.5 as a test environment prior to a full move in a few weeks.
    I have been following the Guide and have successfully created and imported the database.
    However, the guide is really for creating a test site on the same server.
    The licence is of course assigned to a particular domain which won't get transferred until we are ready so I am unsure how to proceed!

    The current server cannot host 4.2.5.

    As long as the site is completely private (behind .htaccess protection, not just having the forum in a closed state) then it's generally ok.

    You will need to make sure the URL settings reflect whatever domain it's being put on.
