 * Hi jamaicafinance,
 * Let’s say that jamaicafinance.com is your domain name. Wamp merely allows you
   to simulate a web server on your personal computer so that you can create and
   look at your website before putting it on the internet. When you’re working through
   wamp, you’ll see localhost/rabbit in your web browser. Once you pick a web host
   and upload your files to their web server, then you’ll see jamaicafinance.com/
   rabbit. Does that make sense?

 * @ istein
    Totally agree with your input.

    If your
   site is using a WAMP server, it is local or on your computer. You will need to“
   publish” it to your web host’s server in order for the public to see it. Hope
   that helps!
