Yeah, I'd figure I'd use Akeeba to upload my project, like I did when switching from Xampp to Wamp.You could create a subdomain e.g. test.yoursite.com linked to a sub-folder on your hosting e.g. https://yoursite.com/test would link to https://test.yoursite.com.
You could also set the site "offline" (front-end), and that way, the public can't access it - all they will see is "This site is offline".
You would log on, e.g. using your superuser credentials (or perhaps create a temporary front-end type user, and set the permission appropriately so that login will work from the offline login form.
For moving the site from local to web host, follow these instructions: https://docs.joomla.org/Copying_a_Joomla_website
The subdomain solution sounds good. But once I am ready to publish it, how do I take it from there? Do I just move all the files up to the main domain, or will that cause issues?
