Orchard CMS - Can i Copy the website contents to another site? (First Time Publish)

I've setup Orchard on cms.mysite.com

I didn't set it up on www.mysite.com, because during the stages of when i configure my site for the first time, i don't want it being seen via www.mysite.com

I'm planning to follow these steps:

  1. Configure my site via cms.mysite.com
  2. Create another IIS website, running ASP.NET 4 on www.mysite.com
  3. When the site's ready, copy the website contents (file sytem) to www.mysite.com
  4. Remove cms.mysite.com
  5. All future changes to the site (e.g by editors/authors) will be done on the main site (www.mysite.com)

This should work right - since all the content is stored in the database?

Or am i doing this the wrong way?

Yes, that should work perfectly fine.

But remember to change the base URL setting (in Dashboard --> Settings --> General) to the new URL.

And also make sure that the IIS App Pool (under which the new app runs) user account has read/write access to App_Data folder in the Orchard root.
