Page-width not scaling correctly

I just migrated a WordPress site from my localhost to the Rackspace cloud hosting. This is my first time working with Rackspace. For some reason, the page-width on the new site is a little over 200px larger. So all of the layout is thrown off, since it was styled for a page that was scaling smaller. I'm looking for a way to either resolve this discrepancy, or at least fix the styling without having to re-size every rule that applied to width. I am also using Bootstrap in the project. I have tried various things to get the page to adapt to the new view, such as various settings for max-width, but nothing so far has had any affect. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I really appreciate it.

Can you post your code? Have you tried the width to be 100%?

yes please post code and pay attention to you media queries

Never mind. Figured out the issue. It was server related.

Media queries? What are those?

Sorry, Luke. That was a joke. I should've prefaced it.

Media Queries are a way to format your html differently for different screen sizes. It will only apply some of your CSS depending on screen width.
