Bluehost

- [Instructor] Bluehost hosting accounts allow you to set up staging environments using their built-in tools. If you already use Bluehost to host your site, this is a great option. If you host somewhere else, chances are there's a staging option for you there. Just ask your support team. Begin by opening up your WordPress site that's hosted with Bluehost. Select the Bluehost menu, then Staging. Create a staging site using the button on this page. Wait a few moments and Bluehost will build your staging environment for you. If you make changes to your live site and want to update the staging one to match, choose Clone to Staging. Work on your staging site by selecting it. You'll know it's the staging site and not the live site by the red label at the top of your dashboard. After you've made changes, select Deploy all Changes in order to push those changes to your live site.
