What is this 'weird' domain name in my web hosting account?

You might have spotted a strange-looking domain name in your web hosting account. Something like tuix29lamf.29.sub-site.eu. What's that all about?

Don't worry - it's nothing suspicious. Actually, it's a free gift from us.

What is this subdomain for?

Think of it as your personal playground. Every web hosting account at Site.eu gets one of these subdomains completely free. It's like having a test kitchen where you can experiment without messing up your main restaurant.

And yes - it's totally safe to delete it if you don't need it. No harm done.

What can you do with it?

The possibilities? Pretty much endless. Here are some popular uses:

  • Build a test website - Try out new designs or features without touching your live site
  • Create a staging version - Make a copy of your actual website for testing updates
  • Test website transfers - Moving your site to us? Test it here first to make sure everything works perfectly

That last one is particularly handy. When you're transferring a website to Site.eu, you can:

  1. Copy your website to this subdomain first
  2. Test everything to make sure it works correctly
  3. Once you're happy, move it to your actual domain name

You get to see how your website runs on our servers before making the final switch. For testing purposes, you might also want to edit your hosts file to preview your site without changing DNS settings.

The bottom line

This subdomain is your free testing ground. Use it, ignore it, or delete it - it's entirely up to you. We just wanted to give you a safe space to experiment without any risk to your main website. If you need to activate your hosting or manage multiple domains, our support articles can guide you through the process.
