>Why not just create the virtual server before you do any development?
The reason I don't go to a virtual server ("site" in IIS) at first is to
avoid
having to use Host Headers and expose the site to the public via the domain
name
before it's complete. Usually, I would just tell a client to go
http://66.xx.xx.79/cfdocs/yoursite/index.cfm to view their site.
Looks like that'll just change to telling to go to
http://www.DefaultWebsite.com/yoursite/index.cfm, which will work the same,
promote my website (when I finally build it!) and be easier for the client
to remember.
Does this sound like it will work well?

Why not just create the virtual server before you do any development? That's
no more difficult than creating a virtual directory, really. If you want
others to view the virtual server, you can either bind it to a separate IP
socket (either using a different IP address or port) or use Host headers to
get to the virtual server. If you use Host headers, you'll need to be able
to create DNS records as needed, or have people add the appropriate
information to their hosts file.
