If you're new to web development, you might not have come across the idea of deployment environments. You can think of deployment environments multiple copies of you code that are used for different purposes.
A very common set of deployment environments would include
Dev Environment - your computer that you use to write code
Staging Environment - a server where you have the latest version of. your code that you want to preview to your internal team before you put it out to the public
Production Environment - a server where you have a version of your code that's been approved by everybody in your internal team and is available to the public
