Hello,
I purchased a shared hosting account. What I'm thinking about doing is having a test server created under a separate directory and database (separate WB install), then assigning it a subdomain (test.mysite.com). This allows me the comfort of developing on the same environment, since they're on the same box. Currently I'm using MAMP (Mac's WAMP, XAMP) to manage my test server.
I want this test environment to be only viewed from a certain, fixed IP, and to not have it followed, or indexed in search engines.
- Do I just alter the .htaccess file to allow only my IP?
- Do I need to do:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
Thanks in Advance, Guys & Gals!
