Mostly, yes. You can use the remote site as your testing server, but it's
much less convenient to do so.

Certainly - that's the usual way to do things.

So, i have to register a web hosting service and domain name from hosting company to build up my website. And set up testing server like PHP and MySQL in local computer. Am i right?

Then what is the condition of the use of web server like IIS and Apache? Cant i set up local root folder, web server and testing server all together in local computer? lets not consider about security problem.

> Is it possible to set up in local computer?

Sure. What OS are you running, and what server model would you be
interested in using (ASP/ASP.NET/PHP/etc.)?

Do you mean to ask whether you can host your own website on your local
computer? Don't even think of it. Not only would it be a security
nightmare, but also, it would likely violate the terms of your ISP
agreement.
