Can I use Visual Studio 2010 and not update the .NET Framework 4.0?

Question

I want to start using Visual Studio 2010, but the .NET Framework 4.0 is not yet very well supported by web hosting companies. It seems to make sense to stick with the .NET Framework 3.5 for now. If I open my projects in Visual Studio 2010 and leave them focused on the .NET Framework 3.5, will I have problems?
