Development , staging , production

I think it's difficult to come up with a 'standard' for multi environments, since every persons situation is different.

The sites I develop are agnostic to the hostname, so from a frontend point of view I can easily move them around. The only other system specific file is .htaccess with can contain platform specific rules, and the config/database.php, but you have to set that up manually for every platform anyway.
