First time uploading a dev site

Hi Everyone,

I know this has been asked before, but I wasn’t quite able to get a full answer to my question looking at the other threads so here goes.

I have development site on a local host (my laptop) that I want to upload as a replacement to our old website which you can currently see at https://www.perfectsettingphotobooth.com

Last time I did this with another website I butchered it, so I’m looking for some help… here are some more details.

I would like to reinstall wordpress as well with this new site. I’m having some log in trouble, and I know there is something I need to do in the wp-config file, but since I’m uploading a brand new site I thought I might be able to just reinstall wordpress, which would delete my old site (according to godaddy), and then upload all of my new files.

I’m using godaddy.com for hosting. Last time I tried doing this I basically deleted all of the files in the FTP folder on godaddy, and then uploaded the development site.

Haha as you can imagine that was a disaster, so I am here seeking sage like (and probably really basic) information.

Thanks in advance! I know this is a basic and pretty vague question so my feelings won’t be hurt if you call me a noob, any help is appreciated.
