How do I setup a WordPress site on a server before the domain is ready?

I normally just map my hosts file to the correct IP. This would work if you were only wanting to work on a site from your box only.

Only benefit to this option, as opposed to others, is that you wouldn’t need to change any of your WordPress settings to go live.
