We’d love to provide support for any staging URL formats implemented by your hosting provider. If your host provides a standard staging URL that we don’t support, let us know.
We are unable to provide support at this time for unique subdomains for staging environments. If you would like to have a unique URL for your staging/development environment, you would need to purchase a Unlimited license.
