Why You Should Create a Copy of Your Website in Your Computer

Why You Should Create a Copy of Your Website in Your Computer

One thing many webmasters don't do (which baffles me) is not getting their private and secure web development environment to test their sites in order to prevent catastrophes.

This lesson I learned the hard way.

Every time a major update from a software gets released, you should always install it first in your cloned website, just to be sure it won't "break" the official website. The last thing you'll want is spending several hours in front of your pc looking for tech support.

I've personally sacrificed many Sundays that way, when I should be socializing. I bet you don't want that.

Some of you might me wondering "Well, I'm not willing to sacrifice my precious Sundays, that's why my hosting company has tech support. So they can do all that boring stuff for me".

Unfortunately, tech support sometimes can be slow to solve your issues and if you have some website making you money, then you need to make sure nothing bad happens to him.

Imagine if you pay a ton of money to get traffic to your website, and when you visitors find it, all they see is an error page. You can bet most of them won't return and you won't get a refund from the advertisers.

By having a clone of your website in your hard drive, you will save a lot of headaches and money in some cases. It's really easy to setup a private web environment.

In order to that, you'll need to download the appropriate software. For the Windows platform it's called WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP), for Mac It's MAMP and for Linux it's LAMP.

I'm not telling how to install to run the program. Installation is really easy and there is plenty of documentation that explains how the program works. If you still have questions, I recommend you to watch some video tutorials on Youtube.

That's how I learned to mess with WAMP.
