    Hi

    I have an existing site that needs an overhault so wanted to use staging to ease the transition over the next 2-3 months while I develop things.

    The cost of the business plan is quote high though as I already pay for hosting, so wondered if I upgrade to the monthly business plan to get the staging feature, when I’m ready to move the staged site over the the live production site, can I then drop back down to the free site? Any issues with that? Or once I sign up will i have to stay on the bueinss plan for as long as I want to keep that site live? thanks.

    Hello there!

    Thank you for reaching out! We’re genuinely excited about the opportunity to assist you with your website overhaul. Could you please share the URL of your site? We’re eager to explore it and better understand the changes you envision for the new design.

    Moreover, we’d like to suggest considering the WordPress.com Business plan for an enhanced hosting experience. By switching to us, you’ll enjoy the benefits of a comprehensive hosting solution. The WordPress.com Business plan mirrors the excellent, adaptable WordPress experience of self-hosting, but with added advantages.

    We handle technical aspects, providing a user-friendly interface without the need for SSH or FTP access. However, SFTP access and SSH access are available on WordPress.com should you require it.

    While self-hosting grants more control over server management and configuration files, it also entails more responsibility. With a self-hosted site, tasks like maintaining security, backups, and spam prevention fall on your shoulders. These are essential aspects of website ownership, and we provide automated tools to simplify these tasks. In fact, Business plan sites with plugins installed can restore backups to their site in just a few clicks.

    Our seamless server resource allocation eliminates frequent upgrades. Also our Happiness Engineer support team is available seven days a week.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you with your site details and any questions you may have!
