The staging domain is the default domain added to your account. It's not indexed by search engines, making it ideal for testing, versioning up, and sharing your project with clients or colleagues.

Claiming your staging domain

You'll be able to claim it when publishing a project for the first time. Follow the steps below to claim your staging domain.

From the editor:

  1. Click the Publishing Button to open the Publishing modal

  2. Enter your domain name

  3. Click save my space to confirm and claim your URL

The staging domain will now be listed in your Publishing modal inside the Editor.

Note: This can’t be changed later, so make sure to choose a name that is relevant to your business. E.g. your company or team name. Contact support if you really need to change it.


Publishing to your staging domain

From the editor:

  1. Click on the "Publishing" button to access the Publishing Modal.

  2. In the Publishing Modal, locate your staging domain, which is identified as vev.site, along with your top-level domain.

  3. Make sure the staging domain is checked off

  4. Hit Publish project

  5. The URL will be active, and you can now click to open the site in a new tab.


Unpublishing your staging domain

Before you can unpublish your staging domain, please ensure that you have already published versions of your website on vev.site.

To unpublish your staging domain, follow these steps from the editor;

  1. Click on the "Publishing" button to access the Publishing Modal.

  2. In the Publishing Modal, locate your staging domain, which is identified as vev.site, along with your top-level domain.

  3. Click on the overflow menu (represented by three dots) associated with your staging domain.

  4. From the options displayed, select "Unpublish."

  5. A pop-up menu will appear asking you to confirm your decision. Click on "Unpublish" to proceed.

  6. After confirming, your project will be unpublished. Please note that it may take up to 5 minutes for the changes to take effect, and your page will no longer be accessible.

This is how your vev.site will appear after it has been unpublished:
