    Hi Ibohen

    Yes. I'm a mac user and use MAMP. You could use WAMP for PC as your localhost testing server http://www.wampserver.com/en/ . WAMP stands for Window, Apache, MySQL and PHP. You can basically build your new site locally using WAMP then when you are ready, move it across to a live host. What I love about MAMP/WAMP is it comes shipped with PHPMyAdmin for an easy way of building your database (I'm sure there are other packages doing the same things too!). I build all my sites locally as that way even after the site has gone live, I still have a local copy I can use to test stuff out if I need to.

    Good luck.
