So far for years i was running very fine working directly on the live server.
Developing and instantly uploading the code written. If there were some new bigger features i locked visibility of this part to my ip only or worked on a test html/php site.
Most likely when i start a new project im using a different unknown domain.
At beginning i was using xampp but because of different settings on the live servers my code wasnt working as i liked. I got errors on my xampp environment while on the live server everything was running fine and vica versa. Paypal/braintree developing wasnt working offline... I saved a lot of time working directly on the live server.
But now id like to completly rewrite our own business site (10 year old code) and im thinking about to try again some offline environment instead of using the unknown domain. The main reason is we dont have a static ip adress anymore, wich would slow down a bit my progress.
So how you are developing ?
Is there any way to clone the full live server into a offline environment ?
