Multiple Environments

You likely will not have control over your server in order to add git and get a workflow similar to what CroNIX uses (most average people won't). Other solutions include:

http://beanstalkapp.com/ -- Paid plans include deployment, where changes are pushed to the specified FTP location. Easiest solution, but has monthly costs.
https://github.com/resmo/git-ftp -- A set of FTP commands added to the git command line, for pushing changes to specified FTP locations. Harder for beginners / those not comfortable with the cmd line, but free and can be automated with aliases / shell scripts / etc.
