Home PC Testing/Development before uploading to Web Host?

  • I am new to WordPress. Please tell me if my plan to customize/test my WordPress website on my home PC before uploading to Production website is correct or incorrect??:

    1. Install XAMPP on my Windows XP Home PC.
    2. Install WordPress on my Windows XP Home PC.
    3. Customize/Develop/Test WordPress on my Windows XP Home PC.
    4. Upload my WordPress files to my Web Host (Unix/Linux, PHP, MySQL).

    Will XAMPP Lite allow me to upload my WordPress files to my WebHost or do I need the the full XAMPP version or separate FTP program??

  • while you’re testing locally, look into phpMyAdmin – it’s a database administration tool that has proved very useful among many WordPress users, both new and experienced.

    once you’re able to create a database backup of your local WordPress site, you will need an FTP to copy those files to the remote “production” server. I recommend FileZilla – free and easy to use.
