## Staging website creation

There are Production and Staging status indicators to remind you which site you are currently managing. You can easily change between the production and staging environments using the following list box:

![](https://files.readme.io/c12750cc130f397ca317e0137c9f00793601a832b9a36411d573cc232c7a25d2-Screenshot_2025-12-10_at_3.13.30PM.png)

Staging environments give you a playground to test new plugins and themes, the latest PHP versions, code modifications, and other changes. When you create a staging site it is a copy of your live site. When you’re ready, you can send all changes back to your live site with the click of a button.

To create a staging site, click **Create Staging:**

# The Security tab

On the **Security** tab, you can lock your site to prevent any updates to your site's files and database. For example, if you have a site with static content, this feature helps increase site security. On the other hand, if you have a site with dynamic content (such as an e-commerce site), you should not enable this feature.

You can also add password protection to your site. When this is enabled, visitors must type a username and password to view your site.
