do you upgrade/work on yoru site directly from yoru server or do you work on yoru site remotly and then transfer the updates and upgrades to the server?

  • I prefer to work on my site remotely and then accordingly transfer the updates and upgrades to the respective server.By this I can upload a bug free code on server.

      And benefits of this would also be because you have a back up. I have seen threads of people complaining about their sites getting hacked and not having a back up, although i am not sure whether they had static/dynamic pages or were working with a CMS. I do know that CMS systems are more vulnerable to being hacked.

  • Ditto to eluminoustechnologies.
    It puzzles me how many people build/design/upgrade their sites on the server while the site is live.
    It's so much easier and safer to upgrade or work on the site, etc... on a remote version then push the changes to the live site.
    Simple method: Put up your landing page, optin, etc... to the live server while you build your site on your computer locally. Just run a local server like wamp, mamp, xampp, etc...
    When your build/design is complete, upload the completed site to the live server.
    Better Method: Almost same as above, but use subversion.

    Agreed! Absolutely backup your site all the time. This also puzzles me why so many people do not have a full recent backup of their site, they get hacked and freak out! Really?
    Where's your backup....It's as important as building the site itself.
