A Testing Domain is a free .cloudvent.net URL that CloudCannon assigns to every Site. Each Testing Domain uses a randomly generated adjective and noun separated by a hyphen (i.e., grey-grouse.cloudvent.net or brave-submarine.cloudvent.net).
Testing Domains are useful for seeing your content live after a successful Site build. If you use a publishing workflow, your Testing Domain will allow you to see the content for each branch on its own domain.
You can view your Testing Domain any time after your first successful Site build.
To stop serving content on your Testing Domain, you can set a password to prevent unauthorized visitors, enable Headless Mode, or contact our friendly support team.
You can use your CloudCannon Testing Domain as your primary domain; however, we don't recommend doing this for two reasons.
One, you cannot change the automatically generated domain name without creating a new Site on CloudCannon. The automatically generated domain may not be right for you or your Site. You can generate a new one by creating a new Site with the same files, but this can be inefficient.
Two, by default, CloudCannon automatically de-indexes Testing Domains so that they do not appear in search engines. CloudCannon does this by serving a robots.txt file on all Testing Domains.
