    Hi all ,
    my qestion is :

    I am working now on local host to my blog running a WAMPSERVER ,

    after i finish it can i transfer to GoDaddy hosting ?

    it's good this way : copy all wordpress folder to GoDaddy hosting space and
    transfer database (is that possible ? )

    And the biggest problem it's that here i set my blog for this usernames for mysql : root , no password. ?

    i will have problems because it's username root ?
    what abbout password, can i change it ? if i can will that affect database ?

    Thanks .

    Regarding hosting ,yes it is easily done..
    you can set a news username in mysql or you can continue with root username..

    I'm guessing the GoDaddy will have a tool somewhere (in cPanel or equivalent) to "restore" a database from a "backup." So back up your local database, set up an empty mySQL database at GoDaddy with a new user name and password, and "restore" into this empty database.

    You'll then need to change the user name, password and database name that Wordpress uses to log in to MySQL. This is stored in the wp-config.php file. In particular, note that the database server name will almost certainly no longer be localhost!

    I'm not sure but I think GoDaddy uses phpmyadmin. Uploading a DB into that is very simple.
