What is a

Server Environment??

Local

A server that is hosted locally on your own computer. Files that are contained on one of your drives or folders.

Remote

hosted away from your computer - a server that you have to connect to.  A common example - a paid hosting option like A1 Hosting, WPEngine or Flywheel. 

Server Environments

Why use a Local Server Environment?

  • Doesn't effect other team members who are also working on the site.
  • Don't need the internet to work on the some of the code
