Moving a site from a local or development server

Have you built your website on your own computer or a local development server and now want it live on the web? Dirham A Day can help you move it onto proper hosting - taking your local site and setting it up to run on our platform.

Moving from a local setup (such as a site built with a local WordPress install or a development environment) is really about transferring the same building blocks any site has:

• The files - your themes, code, plugins and media.
• The database - your content, settings and data.

The extra care needed with a local move is usually around configuration: a site built to run at an address like localhost needs to be pointed at your real domain, and its settings, links and paths updated to match. This is exactly the kind of detail our team can handle so your site works correctly once it is live.

How to move a local site to us:

1. Package up your site files and export your database (or ask us how).
2. Provide these to our team.
3. We set the site up on your Dirham A Day hosting and adjust the configuration for your live domain.
4. We test it with you before it goes public.

If your local site is a WordPress build, this is a very common move and we do it regularly. If it is custom code or an unusual framework, tell us the details so we can plan it properly.

You do not need to figure out the go-live configuration alone - our UAE-based team will get your local project running smoothly on the web. Contact us at support@dirhamaday.ae or WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767.
