Create a Wordpress Staging enviroment

Step 1: Login  to your panel (e.g. cPanel’s url will be https://domain.com:2083) and login with your details.  

 

Step 2:  Creating a subdomain


To add a subdomain, follow these steps

  1. In the Domains section of the cPanel home screen, click Subdomains.

  3. Click Create. You can now add content to the subdomain by placing files in the subdomain's document root.

cPanel automatically fills in the document root path by using the subdomain name that you provide. This path is where the subdomain's files are stored. If you want to store the subdomain's files in another directory, type the full path in the Document Root text box.
