Moving site to my web hosting service.
Permalink
Hello lovely people of the C5 Community!
I have a question here. So...I've designed my site, though I've been doing it on a localhost - there is currently NO web hosting attached to it. I am looking to "connect the plumbing" and move the site over to Hostgator, where a domain name is already waiting for it.
So my question is, do I move this by importing a database file, or FTP, or what? I guess basically what's the best way to move this over?
Any and all advice is welcomed, though the simpler the answer the better, as I am still a Young Grasshopper with this stuff admittedly.
Thanks muches! :-)

Hi Lucas,
Many thanks for your response. I looked at that article, and honestly, I've only been working with C5/CMS for 3 weeks - so even that how-to was pretty Egyptian to me, unfortunately.
I guess I pretty much need the "For Dummies" version...
