Local copies

View as .md

A copy of your site on your own computer or network doesn’t use a seat. These addresses are free:

  • localhost
  • private and loopback IP addresses, such as 192.168.1.20 or 127.0.0.1
  • addresses ending in .test, .local, .localhost, .example or .invalid

Under My Account › Licenses, such a site is listed as “local site, doesn’t count”.

A staging site on a public address, such as staging.yourstore.com, set up and activated on its own, uses a seat like any other site. A staging copy cloned from your live site’s database shares the live site’s seat.
