to production" -- do you mean "live site"? Or do you mean to a staging server (of some sort)? I'm having a debate with some of the people I work with about what this term means and how it is used "in the industry." Thanks for your time.

When you push something to an environment, you publish or move it to an environment.
Here are the industry terms for the environments:
Sandbox - a messy Development environment you can play around in and try whatever you want.
Development - is where your coding is done by the developers
Integration(Test or Staging) - is ideally identical to your Production environment so you can test your changes after promoting/pushing them from Dev to Int. This is where your customers can test out the end result too.
Finally...
Production - is the live environment that is used by the end-user.

Yes, production means 'live'. I currently have a large web application running on 2 different servers. The instance on the first server is my 'production environment' - users are logged in, the application and database are backed up daily, the disks are mirrored, and I only make changes during specified maintenance periods. The second server is my development environment, used for testing, debugging, trying out new features, upgrades, etc. When I am satisfied with a change to the code on the development server, I'll push it to the production server.

Production is the same as any business and "production environment" is just something that you learned in computer school today.
What do you wand to, maybe making a live web 2.0 site for possible customers that directs them to a static site for general viewing and ordering with a database or online purchase possibility.
Its possible that it is the other way around and in that case you could sell your product name as an environment production. - As a name brand.
All the above requires a large amount of servers and space regardless of your fancy words.
Get in contact or get yourself a large server, and your questions will be answered by then.

Production means LIVE, PUBLIC, Implemented.
Staging means QA (Quality Assurance) sometimes, but technically it would be AFTER that - meaning that it has passed QA. A staging server is a place that is clean and aids in implementing a product.
