 * So, I have tested this plugin and it worked. I did need to go in to the database
   to change site URL and then log in to WP and change domain name setting before
   things will work.
 * If I have developed a site locally, will Duplicator, when exporting the install
   + package, do a replace all for domain names and all pointers, say all the links
   that point to the local server when we import it to the new server?

 * Hey Mealto,
 * Short answer is Yes, for most items. The second step of the installer will replace
   all old urls with the new url that is given in the database and the wp-config.
   php file. Pay attention to the last step of the installer and read the install
   report as it gives additional help for what other items need to be finalized 
   or what things it could not update.
 * Cheers~
