You just have to tell it what you need, and Pilotron will take care of the rest.

Staging Environment: Test without fear and publish with one click

Has it ever happened to you that you upload a change to your website and… boom 💥, something goes wrong? With the new cdmon Staging environment, that’s a thing of the past.

What is the Staging environment?

The new Staging environment allows you to work on a copy of your website before publishing changes in production. A safe way to test updates, redesigns, or new functionalities.

Featured features:

• Automatic cloning of your entire site or just specific parts.
• Free subdomain with SSL included.
• Independent configuration of PHP version, privacy, and search engine visibility.
• Possibility of rollback if something doesn’t work as expected.

PHP 8.5: more performance, more security

The backend has also made a significant leap with the incorporation of PHP 8.5, a version that improves performance and enhances the security of web applications.

What does PHP 8.5 bring?

For all users:

• Better performance thanks to optimized memory management.
