# How do I create a staging site?

You can easily create a staging site by just checking the box "Create Staging Site" when you open "Advanced options" while creating a domain. It is not possible to make an existing domain a staging domain, if you want to enjoy this feature you will have to delete your old site, and then setup a new domain with the staging feature enabled.
