To request a staging copy of your production site, simply order the Staging Site Addon from inside your Client Area.
The first month is always free and then if required, it’s just $10/month + GST. You can have Staging switched off and then reorder the Staging Site Addon from inside your Client Area to take advantage of the free first month as often as required.
Because of the complex nature and size requirements, staging is not available to sites that employ WordPress Multisite.
When you're ready to move staging changes to your live site, just open a support ticket. Once we've pushed your changes to the Live site and are ready to switch off the Staging site, be sure to let us know so we can disable Staging and remove the Addon from your Client Area.
