Denver is a free local server installed on your computer. It offers standard hosting features, but your website becomes accessible to users only after it's migrated to your primary hosting.In this case, the website transfer is carried out according to the standard procedure, just like transferring a website from one hosting to another.
The Denver basic package includes the same features as standard hosting: an Apache server, a MySQL database, and PHP. Once all site preparation is complete, the site is transferred to the hosting.
It's best to download Denver to your computer using separate installation packages. Since this is a fully-fledged local server, downloading each separately can cause installation or configuration issues. Installation packages make this task easier.
To migrate a website from Denver to a hosting service, you need to be aware of a few specifics. You need to create a copy of the website's database (using the "Export" tool in phpMyAdmin). Then, using coreFTP or any other FTP client, move the files from the Denver server folder to the hosting root folder. This involves changing certain parameters and taking into account nuances—for example, the database name, username and password, and paths—all of these must be adjusted to reflect the server settings. Transfer instructions are available online, so it's important to read them carefully before beginning this process. Advice from experienced specialists and an analysis of potential user errors will help complete the process smoothly.
When migrating from Denver to hosting, certain preparatory steps are essential. You need to obtain connection information for the hosting server, transfer the MySQL database and website files to the hosting, and edit configuration files. Once these steps are completed correctly, the website will be accessible online.
Follow the step-by-step instructions carefully, and then transferring your site to hosting will not be a problem.
