Not easy life… But I really really suggest you have a second server to test things before going live. You know, those things some call “staging server”…
It adds to the cost. Or it is an investment in resiliency and stability. Your choice.
@MF – staging server is on its way
I know , I know – why wasn’t it there already?
Ah well……
Or a virtual server. I am running five virtual machines on a single server – plus a backup server of course.
we’ve got a VPS – but only one – and no space to run a nest virtual server
So answer is a staging server elsewhere that mimics the production server environment

What are doing running your own servers? Why aren’t you (of all people?) in the Cloud?
Amazon EC2 pricing here (http://cloudservices.blogspot.com/2008/10/amazon-announcements-general.html). 99.95% availability, download ElasticFox and just go for it. You’ll never need to touch a piece of tin ever again.

With this site we made a decision to host in New Zealand….. it was a toss up and still under discussion though
@Ben Reid, a “VPS” is a Virtual Private Server. Not much different from a server hosted at Amazon…
