Moving forward we will be using a Managed VPS for our development website, hosted through Heart Internet.
These Managed VPS devices only offer Plesk as the control panel (no cPanel option available).
Plesk makes it really easy to install a fresh copy of Wordpress onto a server - ideal for us preparing a development installation.
Please note that going forward, new development installations should be installed to https://www.hype.me.uk
Here is a video where I step you through that installation process.
