Jen - its hard to say. If you are running linux, and have realy named your system example.com, then it should work perfectly. If you are running windows useing something like apache2triad, you will find strange problems frequently. I would suggest useing a real server for your development, preferable the host you intend on using, as different host configurations can make a difference in how your site works. For instance, I just moved hosts (the old one went from wonderfull to absolute hell in the last year) to camalot hosting. While I love my new host, their configuration prevents me from using php overides in .htaccess files, so I had to rethink a few things. Also, it your dev site it on a real server, we on the forum can look at it, making it much easier to help with most problems.

xman888 - Glad to hear you got it working!
