I plan on downloading a blog script(wordpress or anything) and installing the site with addon mods, test run it and stuff before uploading to a host under a specific domain name. is it possible for me to do all this with my computer and no host(yes just me can access the site) then when i'm done with the site and all i can upload it online to any host of my choice?(think it will be like trasfering websites)
I remember i read something related i think online few years ago, i think something about downloading apache or php or both and some other things...please help
Thank you in advance.

Have you try using Xampp or Wampp. I guess that is what you are looking for. Any of the two will help you to test your scripts before uploading them to the internet.

Download a web server like Wamp or Xamp and install it on your localhost. Downloading Apache and Php is a long process and you may get confused. Wamo and Xamp already contains all the components that you need to run your website on your server.

tanxx.. xamp is what i was trying to remember

Use wamp if u are using windows. I'm pretty sure u would still encounter some difficulty in using it becos d default server in window is iss.
