General Software Discussion / Re: how to build a website in my pc and then upload it to a hosting?
« on: October 31, 2012, 02:02 AM »
You can set up a test development environment on your PC using any number of freely available  tools. You'll need an "_AMP stack" (i.e some form of webserver, a database engine, and the ability to process pHp scripts for most cms systems) The easiest for most people would be to use something like AMPPS since it gives you all that - and also makes setting up virtually any web app you're likely to use a fairly simple process. They have something like 250+ web apps scripted for easy installation under AMPPS.

Easy to get. Free to use:

Get everything you need to start running web applications with AMPPS using the Softaculous Auto Installer. The simple and streamlined installer will get your development ready to go. You will be provided the latest version of AMPPS including database and scripting languages. The auto-installer includes the latest version of all the scripts.
The best thing is, it's free! GET AMPPS NOW.    

Create your website:

To get started creating websites, just download and install AMPPS with Softaculous auto-installer. You'll be up and running less than 5 minutes! Once AMPPS is installed, install the latest version of your favorite free web applications such as Joomla!, WordPress, Magento, Dolphin using Softaculous.

To upload to your host, you'd need to transfer the directory you created for your CMS up to the host server and configure appropriate file permissions so it's secure. And also install the CMS software you've decided on.

Many hosts have 1-click installers for the more popular web apps. For file transfers, most professionals prefer to use SFTP to do that. But not every host provides it. And usually not for accounts that don't have dedicated or virtual servers even when they do.  Those that don't will make you use their upload tools which are usually on the control panel. So best check with your potential host to see what they offer.

Good luck with your project! :Thmbsup:
