Given:
Current website: https://www.classic-site.com/
CMS: Wordpress
My ideas are as follows, but I would like to get inputs and comments from public experts.
- Password protect the whole site using .htaccess, so search engine would not index the clone site.
- make a subdomain https://000.classic-site.com/ (from https://www.classic-site.com/)
- Then when if the problem hits the fan. I can just amend the A record and point it to the new IP.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thank you. Dika
