I got a free non-profit account on Dreamhost, where I installed both Wordpress and the latest (at that time) version of CiviCRM. This is a shared hosting account and NOT recommended for your final deployment, but it sure was a good test platform for us. If you want something more local, I also set up XAMPP environments on both a linux and windows laptop. That way I really couldn't break anything. Both these environments are definitely DIY. If those are foreign to you, a CiviCRM partner would be recommended. | |
