How do I add a custom temporary URL?

You can replace 20i's white-label temporary URL (stackstaging.com) with your own custom temporary URL. 

To add a custom staging URL you'll need to have a registered domain name within your 20i account. You can either register a new one or transfer-in an existing domain. 

Note: The domain name cannot be associated with an existing hosting package, so you may want to register a new domain for the purpose of customising the temporary URL.

To add your custom temporary URL: 

• Login to your My20i account.
• Select the Hosting Package Types icon under Reseller Preferences.

• Locate the hosting package type you want to add a custom temporary URL for and select Edit.

• Scroll to the bottom the page and you will see the Temporary URL Domain section. Select a domain from the dropdown menu. This will become the temporary URL you and your customers will see for all packages on the hosting package type selected.

Being able to add a unique custom temporary URL to each hosting package type allows you differentiate between a WordPress temporary URL and a Linux temporary URL. 

For example, you could have the temporary URLs: MyBusinessWordPressStaging.com and MyBusinessLinuxStaging.com

However, you may want to keep things simple and use one custom temporary URL for all hosting packages - that's up to you!
