WordPress Hosting Dashboard: A Detailed Overview

last update: 04.15.2024

Instance Details Overview

After successfully adding and installing your instance, you can access its details page by clicking on the instance name in the list view or selecting the "Manage Site" button in the tiles view.

The details page for each instance is a comprehensive hub for managing your site, offering a variety of up-to-date information and functionalities. We'll explore each section to help you navigate and utilize these features effectively.

Live/Staging Environment

Navigation: Client Area > Instance Details > Live/Staging

At the top left of the instance details page, two buttons allow you to toggle between the Live and Staging environments. If a staging version hasn't been created yet, click the "+" icon to initiate its setup. Once the staging site is ready, the "+" icon will change to a "Staging" button, allowing for easy access.

Managing Your Domain

Navigation: Client Area > Instance Details > Domain

Directly beneath the Live/Staging toggle, the instance name appears with an adjacent "edit" button, enabling you to rename the instance as needed. A dropdown arrow next to the instance name allows for quick switching between instances without returning to the main list.
