This is my first post and first attempt at Zen Cart. I presently use Coffee Cups Shopping Cart Creator Pro. I know
It basically works very well and simple to create but the shipping is a nightmare and the reason for my change to ZC.
My question is this;
I use 1and1 for my host server. My current store is directly under the root directory: /
I want to be able to design a new store that will not be able to be accessed by search engines while I work on it. I fear that if I simply create a new folder (/demo,/test, etc.) under the root directory, google will find it and start showing it to people in their searches for my products. This happened when I was trying to make my blog with Worpress.
The people at 1and1 had me set up a test folder to put my new store in under a special subdomain that is automatically created by 1and1 from day one of signing up. The address of this subdomain is NOT my website address. It is preceded by a bunch of numbers:
##########.onlinehome.US/test
Weird, I know. Will this work for a demo/test store while I create it with ZC? Or am I asking for a world of trouble converting it to take place of my original store under the root directory??
I hope this makes since, I know I'm confussed
