Thanks for this blog. it is great and has sorted out most of the issues that I had in my mind.
I would like to make sure that I am heading off on a path that is not a waste of time and hope that someone may be able to give me some feedback.
I currently have a website that is hosted by “someone”. I am a little uncertain as I paid for someone to develop a website and it included 2 years hosting but it seems that it is may be being hosted by Site5.
I want to develop a WordPress website to ultimately replace the existing one but want to keep the old site in place until the new site is good enough to substitute.
What I have done so far is install WP on my computer and an running it as a local host but I want to make sure that the work that I am doing can be “transferred” to take the place of the existing website.
The other issue is that I will ultimately transfer the hosting of the existing site from where it is to something like Hostgator which I am using for a number of other wordpress sites.
Is my logic OK? Am i doing it the right way?
Hope this makes sense!
