As an online teacher you’ll always need to make updates and tweak your website to be better for your visitors and students. One of the easiest ways to do that is in a staging server environment. With staging servers, you don’t mess up the main server and you get to see how processes will work  even before they get to the main server.

In this lesson, we’re learning all about staging servers. What is it? Why use it? How to set one up? And then we’ll go over an example just for creative teachers. Finally, we’ll wrap up with our best tips.

😨Challenges course creators face when they don’t use staging environments:

• They will not be able to preview a new content before publishing

• Experimental content may accidentally pop up on the main server

• They may break something that’s already working

• They may not verify all updates and features before launching

• You cannot experiment while your main server serves existing customers

💡 Here are the top tips you need to know about staging servers:

• Use the staging server to experiment while your production server serves your existing customers

• You can experiment as slowly or broadly as you want.

• Whenever you’re ready, you bring your process into production

• In an instant, that production environment can get upgraded

• You get to preview content before it goes into production
