I need some advice from experts 🙂
I will develop a website using PHP and I will use also MySQL. I bought some server space from a Virtual private server including all the service needed.
How should I develop the site? Shall I develop it on my machine at home (using for example Wamp), and when ready transfer all the files to the server? If so what is the best method to transfer also the database?
Thanks in advance!!
Developing on a local server should be faster since you can preview all the changes “live”, without uploading the updated files to the hosted server. So yeah, I’d recommend working locally. I use Wamp myself.
As for the database, you can export it in PHPMyAdmin (ships with Wamp). It should generate a gigantic query (a set of queries, actually), which you can then execute on your site to create the tables and fill them with content.
