Deployment of a host server....but trying to develop on my own PC
The web server that I have choosen is www.Appliedi.Net (hopefully ok to say their name). As part of their ASP.Net hosting package you can install Kentico CMS Lite. You simply activate the package once you have signed and got your account.

In order to design the pages for my website, I copied all the files from the host server back to my own Visual Studio account.

However, that doesn't work since the database in located on the host server and it says that it can't find it.

So, I have to construct each page, upload it to the host server to see if it works.

Is there a better way of programming on my own PC in a localhost environment and then uploading once I have the programs running. Or is there a way to tell Kentico on my PC where the database is located on the host server?

Hello,

You can easily develop the web site on your local machine. After the web site is ready to go live, you need export it into the export package and import in your live server following instructions in Developer's Guide: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/deployment_to_the_live_server.htm

If you are running Shared hosting please see this: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/installation_on_shared_hosting.htm

I hope it helps

Best regards
