One your website is built, you use FTP (file transfer protocol) software to FTP your files to your web server (hostgator), after which if someone when to your URL, they would see your website.
There are courses here that can help you install a local server. Common options are XAMPP, MAMP, and WAMP. I personally use XAMPP on Windows and MAMP on OSX

Courses Plus Student 1,079 PointsOk, Is it not necessary to remove the site of Hostgator? Only I must upload my local server. Does Not?
