Website Launch Guidance & Setup

I have a fully coded website—both front-end and back-end are ready—but it’s still sitting on my laptop. I need someone to walk me through the last mile so the site can go live smoothly on my shared hosting account.

Here’s where I specifically need your help:
• Domain & hosting setup: connect my domain to the shared hosting provider and make sure everything propagates correctly.
• Configuring DNS settings so the URL resolves without hiccups (A-records, CNAME, and any required SSL pointers).
• Uploading all website files—codebase, assets, and any environment configs—so the structure mirrors my local build.
• Setting up the databases: create and import existing SQL dumps, adjust connection strings, and verify CRUD operations once deployed.

I’m after clear, step-by-step guidance I can learn from, whether through annotated screenshots, a concise document, or a quick screenshare session. When we’re done, my expectation is:
1. The site loads on the live domain with no errors.
2. Database connections work as they do locally.
3. I understand how to repeat the process for future updates.

If you have experience deploying custom sites on shared hosting and can explain technical steps in plain language, I’d love to collaborate.
