Installing a 2nd wordpress site on same domain

  • Hello, lets say in a situation I start an agency that designs websites for clients on wordpress. Prior to the website being hosted on their domain, I would like to build it in my agency domain until it is done. The website for the client could appear something like agencyname.com/clientwebsite. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated in showing how to do this. btw: Will likely use elementor to build the site if that matters. Thanks!

  • Hello there,

    It’s a better approach to use a subdomain, for example, staging.agencyname.com, staging2.agencyname.com, etc. Of course – you need to make sure that Google don’t index the site which you are building for the client. Add A records for each subdomain to DNS settings and install WP on subdomains, as many installations as you need.

    Kind Regards.

    You can definitely build client websites on your agency’s domain (e.g., agencyname.com/clientwebsite) before transferring them to the client’s domain. This gives you control over the development process and allows clients to preview progress. Using Elementor for WordPress makes the design easy, as you can export and later import templates to the client’s domain.
