Create a Beta Environment for Testing Purposes

After you have created your main website and installed WordPress through Fantastico, go back into your cPanel and add a new “Subdomain” (NOT Add-On Domain) to your account. You can name it anything you want… I chose beta for my own. The new subdomain will carry your main domain in the url structure and end up like: testing.mydomain.com or in my case, beta.mydomain.com .
