Remember your robots.txt to ensure your development/staging site remains invisible
As part of our website creation process, we utilize one or more servers for development. This keeps the live site live while we do our work but gives us a dev website on the Internet for testing purposes.
Because the development site is also on the web, it needs its own web address (e.g. dev.yourcompany.com).
