What do I need to know before changing hosts, domain names?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm thinking about finding a free host and using a free sub domain to build and test the php-database stuff... Along with learning php and mysql stuff  :P I've already got a lot of the php stuff setup but my file paths are all wrong. Is there anything I should do while I'm building this part of my site to make sure it still works when I move it to a permanent home ?

 

So far I know that I shouldn't use the full path but instead something like assets/php/reallycomplex.php

 

Once its complete and I have all of my info in the database my plan is to move to a real host and get a real domain name instead of the sub domain.

 

 

Are there any other things I should know?

 

Thanks for the advice.
