What's the best way to do it? Pull WP on your LAN, and then upload everything to the host, or pull it already on the hosting?

Question

CMS

This is my first time doing this and I have no experience with it.
It's just that on the hosting on which the new site should be, the old one works.
Therefore, it will not be possible to immediately install it on the hosting, as it takes time, and the site must function. What tell me?

Answer 1

Either do it locally, or create a copy of a working site on a subdomain and close it from indexing and work, and then, upon completion of work, synchronize directories and databases.

Answer 2

Depending on tasks.
You work alone or in a pair with someone.
Should the customer control the process, etc.
and what?
create a subdomain dev.sitename.domain, a folder on the hosting and work. you can connect a folder on the hosting as a disk on your computer. Many even virtual hostings support this, either ssh or ftp, in short, as convenient.

Answer 3

better on the host

Answer 4

Now hostings are very flexible in terms of setting up the environment. You can also do it locally.

Answer 5

Xs, I always do it on the host. It is more comfortable. You just need to edit to set up the environment in which you work, otherwise these saves are permanent.
