Getting the project to the code complete&amp;nbsp; stage was hard enough, but getting through all of the bugs and working with the client&amp;#39;s hosting company has been very challenging. Here are some things we have learned:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;1)&amp;nbsp; Get to know the hosting provider that your client chose. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you can, direct them towards a reputable company that you have worked with before. If you don&amp;#39;t have any input on the choice, find out as much as you can about the policies and procedures of the hosting company. Deploying to staging and production can be a real nightmare and doing it blind is near impossible. Try to work with the project manager assigned to your deployment to make sure any problems are quickly addressed by the proper individuals.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;2)&amp;nbsp; Keep communication active between all involved parties&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make sure that your client is aware of any hold ups on the hosting company side. The client (or their client) is paying the bills so they can lean on the hosting company if needed. In the end, your client has entrusted you with getting the site production ready. If the hosting company is preventing this, make sure everyone knows. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://codetrex.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=6" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://codetrex.com/blogs/relevant-media/archive/tags/CodeTrex/default.aspx">CodeTrex</category><category domain="http://codetrex.com/blogs/relevant-media/archive/tags/Deploying+Code/default.aspx">Deploying Code</category></item><item><title>CodeTrex is launched.</title><link>http://codetrex.com/blogs/relevant-media/archive/2008/04/05/codetrex-is-launched.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Apr 2008 22:17:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">64337f99-7f5f-47bc-a252-52e03bdc20ed:5</guid><dc:creator>rriggs</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;After months of planning, iterations with a design crew, and juggling our own site development with the already bustling load of current projects, we&amp;#39;ve manage to get enough site-worthy elements and content to warrant a full site launch... woohoo!&amp;nbsp; Way to go, team.
