Hello Our,
I have now done a couple of Umbraco sites (best CMS ever!). Both using the .zip file and installing the "manual" way on a local server.
I think that deploying my sites to the hosting partner was some what hard and I would like to know how you (the pros) setup you're site local and then deploy to a hosting partner and/or MS azure. Are you using webmatrix or VS and NuGet? Any comment is greatly appreciated.
Hi Gert, awsome to hear that you love the CMS as much as the rest of us. There is probobly no right or wrong answer for your question, but i can share my work setup and hope it help:
I use Visual Studio (2015) with Sql Server 2012 (when im not doing CE sites).
For install and upgrades i use Nuget Console, its awsome!
For deploy i use FTP (usally with FileZilla since i think its faster that Visual Studios built in FTP deployment.)
Hope this was usefull, let me know if there's anything else you find tricky and i'll do my best to help out!
Yes, ill test everything locally and then deploy to production, and then make sure thast everything is working fine there aswell. I deploy the SQL by scripting the whole databse from local to production.
In Visual studio, you can select the option "replace from server" and it will retrive the code from the production server to local. You still have to script the SQL server though, but ive done it so many times now that it takes less than a minute.

thanks for sharing :-) Okay so you test that all is running ok locally and then upload the bits to the "production" server? How do you deploy the SQL?
Is it possible to "convert" a manual deployed site and/or import it in to VS?
Hi Gert,
Another great way for doing Umbraco sites is Umbraco as Service
