I usually put something up, business card type information. Of course,
if this is for a client without a site at all, most of the site is
already done on a test server, and once the domain name and hosting is
secured, the files from the test server are uploaded to the new server.
I have had instances where the test server is showing in the SERPs
before the new site is uploaded. Then it's just a matter of putting up
a 301 on the test server.
