Just Beginning... building store on PC then Uploading

Okay,
I just want some reassurance that I'm not totally making this too hard on myself.

I got the Zen Cart book & am following the tutorial setting up my store on my PC. Eventually I am going to have my store hosted by a 3rd party. How hard will it be to move everything over to a webhost? Should I forget about setting it up on my computer & start with the software on my host?

That shouldn't be too difficult - there are tutorials for how to do this too!

If you have the time to create your site on your pc (most just rush right in to "live" site mode, myself included!) that is probably the BEST way to go, then if you want to add modules or make major changes you can test them first on your PC.
