Sandbox / Development sites
Last Updated about a month ago

We're happy to provide temporary sandbox / development clones of your site for when you're making major changes to its look or functionality.

Open a support ticket to request a sandbox site.

Notes:

  • Sandbox sites are on similar servers to production, just slower. 
    • They have the same software setup and at least the same options as production servers.
    • Additional PHP versions will be available on sandbox servers first.  
  • We do not block search engine indexing on sandbox sites. 
    • We recommend using a "maintenance mode" plugin to hide the site from Google and friends
  • We can not merge content between the production site and sandbox. 
    • Sandbox sites are clones of production with a search and replace done to change URL
    • When launching a sandbox site, we clone it back the same way. 
    • Syncing sales and similar data is a task for your web developer or WP tech.
  • Permanent sandbox sites are available as a hosting add-on.
