Hi Noor - your question is a very popular one.  There are many many examples of this question having been previously answered very well in this forum.  Can I suggest... perhaps after reviewing the tech notes suggested by Marianne, that maybe you might like to search this forum afterwards... and then devise your plan... and then if/when you have further questions... then show us your plan... and then ask any questions/doubts that you may have regarding your plan.  HTH.
