I'm about to launch a site on a live server, after developing it with xampp on localhost. I first want to test the site before i make it live. How do i setup this up so I have it in a subdomain (i.e. test.livesite.com)? Is it just set it up on the server and only add the cname dns setting? Or is there a better way?

All i am trying to do is add my site to the server, so i can edit it and look at it before I set it as live.

This can be achieved a few ways.

Most hosting environments will automatically set up your site that is accessible by IP and username, you could use that.

If they don't do that then you could set up a domain as you suggest.

Usually, adding a subdomain is just a server configuration matter. For example, if you are using hostgator, within 3 clicks you can have a well configured, ready to use, subdomain.
