Export and Import demo site created to new Domain

I am new to using this program. 2 questions:
does the demo website need to be the name as the website that will be online for the user?
If so how do I change the website name for the demo?

Hi @busygcg!

Your Local site can have the same “name”, or any name you wish but not the same domain. Your Local domain should look like busygcg.local unless you’re using Localhost for your Router Mode.

When you take the site live, you’ll add the live domain to your host and point DNS from your domain registrar there. If you use a migration plugin it should handle a lot of the Search and Replace work for you as far as changing your Local domain to your hosted domain, but if any references still need cleaned up there are plugin solutions that can help with that or your host may offer to assist.
