I design wordpress sites locally then when the time comes to deploy it to a hosted server I transer all the database and I edit the config table for the new url, but I dont think this is a good practice.
What are you thoughts on the best way to do this?
My question is : How do I publish a wordpress site from my computer to a live server constantly?
I take it you are referring to the site url settings. You can override these from the config file instead of manually editing the db values. This is a supported and probably safest way to do it.

Once you have the site up and running you can save the settings from the WP interface and remove the lines from the config file.
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com/wordpress');define('WP_HOME', 'http://example.com/wordpress');
