How to Set Up a Temporary Domain for Development

A temporary domain is used during website development before your final domain is ready.

This allows designers and developers to build and test features without affecting a live site.

Most hosting platforms offer free subdomains or temporary URLs, such as preview links. Get started at web hosting for developers.

Once ready, you can switch to the official domain and go live with minimal risk.

Using temporary domains improves workflow and reduces the chance of launching with errors.
