WordPress staging is a clone of your live WordPress site, created independently on SirsteveHQ staging servers. It allows you to test changes – whether that’s WordPress themes, plugins, code snippets or any other kind of change. As it’s done ‘offline’, you can afford to experiment. A staging site is a place to develop or troubleshoot without worrying about your actions having an effect on the users of your live website.
As web designers and developers know, a single plugin addition could have disastrous consequences. You don’t ever want to be acquainted with the infamous ‘white screen of death’ on a live WordPress site. Clone your site with a single click, carry out tests or add new content or code.
You can share your staging site with anyone by giving them the ‘staging.yourperfectdomain.com’ URL. Once happy with the changes you’ve made to the staging site, you can migrate those changes to the live site seamlessly. Your changes will overwrite your old content in moments.

As standard, we automatically map the 'wildcard' alias for your domains to your site. What this means is you can create subdomains such as subdomain1.yourperfectdomain.co.uk and subdomain2.yourperfectdomain.com without any additional configuration. For Wordpress Network to work, all domains must point to the same document_root when they are added - usually public_html.
