What is Deployment?

In the world of websites, deployment is simply taking your finished website files and making them available for everyone to see on the internet. It's the crucial step that turns your project from just being on your computer into a live, accessible website.

The Traditional Way of Website Hosting

Historically, getting a website online was a complex and technical task. It often involved:

• Building Code: Preparing website files, especially for sites using frameworks or specific languages.
• Server Connection: Using tools like FTP or SSH to log into a remote server, often via command lines, and finding the correct directory.
• Manual Uploads: Tediously dragging and dropping hundreds or thousands of files to the server, risking errors that could break the site.
• Server Configuration: Manually setting up server software and permissions.
• Extensive Testing: Thoroughly verifying the website's functionality.

This whole traditional process was often time-consuming, prone to human error, and definitely required a certain level of technical expertise.
