Staging systems are a good thing.

If you are limited to a single development and live production host,
with Apache (I don't use other servers so I can speak to them) you can set
up a staging server virtual host and do file creating there.  Then just
move the files over to the production directories.  I would not recommend
creating new pages directly in your production server directories (unless
of course you have a script users run which does this by intent).
