** Or, would it be best to wait until I get to the final server? **
You may encounter problems with file permissions if you try to move it from one server to another and you'll definitely have to alter some of the main script variables before it will run elsewhere. I suggest you don't start using it until it can be loaded where it will stay, unless you don't need the events used while in the testing stage.
