Setting up an intermediate environment using external hosting?

I have been working on a project for several years for my friend, and he slowly turned into a large site. In the early stages, I just did development on my local machine with a local database, and then deployed any site changes and database changes to a real site.

This worked well, but lately we have had deployment problems. We want to set up an intermediate environment for testing before we begin deployment in a production environment.

The site that I use for hosting does not offer an intermediate environment for the site, so I was wondering what I can do to create an intermediate environment. If my site is www.mysite.com, can I use staging.mysite.com, or do I need to purchase another domain?

I'm curious how other people handle this ...

Not sure if this is a SO question, but in case it is:

  • It will depend on the services offered by your web host, some offer subdomains for the price
  • You can also expand to a subfolder, for example www.mysite.com/staging
  • Buy a different (cheaper?) Hosting plan, for example www.mystagingsite.com
  • If you don’t need public access, just install it on another local computer, physical or virtual
