Do you mean that you don't know how to deploy the project on the same server, or on a new server? Or do you mean that you don't know how to handle existing in-bound links to the old site?

Let's talk business!
Hey, so if I talk to a possible client, and he says okay to re doing his website. Well, with their current website already ties to that web url, how do I replace the website.
Level 8
@tykus So, lets say you have a website, but another person made that website, and I come and I can make you a better one, and you agree, but you want to keep the same domain name. How would I go about it.
Level 104
@Randy_Johnson hopefully the client owns the domain name (at a minimum); and this was not owned and managed by the previous developer(s). If not, then it might get messy!
Depending what is available to you from the client, will dictate what you need to do to deploy your application in place of the existing one. Can you find out if the client knows anything about where that application is currently hosted; where DNS records are managed, where database(s) are hosted (if you need data from the old application)? If you can use existing hosting, you need to check that it can satisfy the minimum requirements (e.g PHP version and extensions) to run your application.
