Staging Domain URL help

Brandon

Hello, I'm new to this forum and Enhance as well. In Enhance > Settings > Platform domains I'm having trouble with the URL field. If forces me to include a full url, so in my case I input staging.seamlesshosting.co. However, when a client Clones a site to a New Site and selects Staging they are presented with a blank field that looks like www.____________ staging.seamlesshosting.co.

If they type in staging, the end url is www.staging.staging.seamlesshosting.co instead of the client's url. Ideally it should be www.staging.[clientsitename]. Is there any way to accomplish this in Enhance?

The staging domain is designed so customers can view their website without having to change their DNS/nameservers.

What you're looking for is just cloning the website to a subdomain after the client has added their domain.

Worth noting though, staging domains are not counted towards your license cost but cloning it to a subdomain would be, as it'd create a new website.

Hi Brandon,

I would suggest using a completely different domain than the one that is actually also your main domain for your website.

Something like seamlesshostingpreview.co or whatever so you're not inviting funny shenanigans by letting people set sub domains up on your main domain.

Using a different one means you could use simply seamlesshostingpreview.co and then a customer can put whatever they want before it.

they could then enter staging.clientsname and it would be staging.clientsname.seamlesshostingpreview.co

Or essentially whatevertheyputinthefirstbox.seamlesshostingpreview.co
