The localhost account is used to migrate your local development website and files from your computer.
Which information do I need to create a localhost account?
Root URL
You will need your local website URL exactly as you have from the browser, for example:
- http://localhost:8888
- http://my-cool-website.dev
- https://my-secure-website.com
- …
Document Root
Together with the website URL, you will need the document root of your website, ie the folder on your computer where you store all the files for your website.
Database
If your website uses a database (WordPress site for example), you will need to add the database name of your website.
Check Connection
After entering all the information on your localhost account, you can check if the information you entered is valid, and the Migrate app identified all the necessary data to proceed.
