Hi,
My company currently has a live site that we want to move to a lightsail instance running Plesk. Our site is using the wordpress CMS.
I have set up the instance and added the site domain which is of course still resolving to the old host. I would like to install WordPress and import our old site and do some testing before I change the DNS records to point to the new instance. But I can't log in to the new WordPress instance in Plesk because it redirects to the old site.
Is the best option here to create a subdomain; create DNS records for the said subdomain and point them to the IP and then use that as a test environment?
Or is there an easier method?
Cheers,
