WordPress Staging site Option

[Dimitris1]

Hi there,
What the title says .. is there any easy way to create an WordPress Staging site ..? i look at WordPress Manager but there isn't any related option ..

I`d recommend Softaculous plugin with its integrated wordpress management for this, https://softaculous.com/
Its dedicated server license costs only $24/Year

Well, Thank you , but this meaning extra $24. In my humble opinion this service it must be free of charge.

As @johannes said, Softaculous is the way to go for this. less than €2 a month, you get backups with their backuply software which is very good. Staging, Installs and more. Other than that, you're looking at waiting until DA team get around to implementing such a feature, or using another control panel that has staging built in (there are a few)

Quick edit: there is something called Installatron which works with DA. Not sure of the cost, but not as good as softaculous but offers similar staging and features.

*TIP* Both offer a free trial if you're looking to try things out which is a great thing.

@johannes @DrWizzle Well, thank you for your help guys.. maybe i give a try to Softaculous after all..
In any case i thing that is a good idea to has a staging WP option as default Service in DA ..

.. cant be wrong. And with it, you get a few nice WP Plugins for free, as Backuply, CookieAdmin Pro, Loginizer Pro, SEO, SMTP ..

yes agree. I`d even like a better (more granulated, more options) backup system for our clients inside DA

Just a comment about the price. I see tha is $40/Year instead of $24/Year. This is quite double money .. please check the screenshot.

On the site https://softaculous.com/pricing/ click on the tab for hosters, get 24,- price for the self hosted version. Click on the tab cloud, get the SAAS version for cloud servers (Softaculous hosted by Softaculous, just added to your cloud) and pay 40,- price.
