How do I transition my website from local to my web host?
Posted: 06. June 2015 15:00
Hi I am new here and have a couple questions...
I have downloaded XAMPP to my machine and have it set up. I have build several WordPress sites in the past so I am familiar with creating the website but I have never used this method of creating offline.
My concern is how do I transition it when I am done to my HostGator web host? Is there a good tutorial on this somewhere.
I have an existing website at another host and I want to point the domain to this new website when it is complete. I don't want to move the current website to my new host, I will just be moving some of the content and using a fresh new WordPress and a new theme.
That's why I want to get the new website fully designed ahead of time and transition when the time comes so there is little downtime.
