# need staging site

 * I have a hosting provider who set me up with the WP theme already installed in
   Cpanel and pointing to the domain.
 * However, I wanted to upload a simple landing page I built in boostrap first (
   a coming soon vibe) for the main domain to be pointing out.
 * I am unable to reach my provider at the moment and would like to know a simple
   way to do this. I have not made any changes to the freshly installed site.
 * I have read some things about stage coach, but unsure about setting up a separate
   DB and would like to know the easiest way to accomplish this.
 * Obviously making a subdomain in Cpanel, but methinks that just simply copying
   all the WP files and pasting them into the subdomain folder while I am upload
   the new files in the interim is not as easy as I want to think.
 * I appreciate the help!

 * Install a plugin like [Ultimate Coming Soon Page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-coming-soon-page/)
   and go and edit the text for the page. if it uses the default WordPress editor
   it should have an option for inserting code. All you need to do is put code like
   the following in:
    `<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://comingsoon.
   yourdomain/index.html" />` Use that and change the coming soon URL to somewhere
   taht the bootstrap page is like a subdomain for example ‘comingsoon.yourdomain.
   com’ and just log out and every logged out user can now access the coming soon
   page.
