Immediately on the hosting or first on the local server to make a website?

Question

CMS

Good afternoon.
Such a question, I am making an online store site on CMS Wordpress Woocommerce to a friend, hosting and domain are not yet rented, I do everything on a local server. So, is it easier to do everything on the hosting right away, so that later there are no problems with the transfer, or is it still first on the local, and then transfer the finished one to the hosting?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Kind.
To avoid problems with the transfer, you can use the Duplicator plugin . He usually carries it without problems.

Answer 2

Of course it's easier to do it yourself.
The main thing is to find out in advance the server configuration on the hosting, the PHP version, and so on, so that there are no unpleasant surprises.

Answer 3

First, fuck-fuck at home, and only then in production!

Answer 4

you can immediately set up the correct domain on the local server, and patch your hosts file so that the browser thinks that everything is fair.
And when transferring, the main thing is that there are no incompatibilities with php and sql versions and encodings

Answer 5

So, is it easier to do everything on hosting at once?

This is a very, very, very bad practice. Don't do it.

Answer 6

It is more convenient to develop on a local server. But it is better to periodically test on the hosting. For example. The standard way to include the jquery library in a functions file works fine on a localhost, but on a real host it can surprise.
