Great tip, but I'd like to add that preferably one does not hand out production URLs that have a machine/hostname in the URL. By using a "friendly" hostname, moving a site is a matter of changing the DNS, and all your SEO value will remain the same. Ideally you wouldn't even include a file path in the URL, but that's harder to accomplish.
