This guide will show you how to create a new project with InMotion Central. A project is where you can manage a live or staged instance of a website. InMotion Central makes managing and developing multiple sites in separate projects easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can build a site and do not have to pay for hosting until your clients are ready to go live. Save time and money by testing and building separate instances in staging environments without disturbing your live sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the other benefits of creating a project with InMotion Central are the ability to perform free backups of your UltraStack ONE for WordPress projects using the Total Upkeep plugin and create \u201cSnaps\u201d that include a group of pre-built plugins that you can quickly implement on any project site. You can save time by moving a copy of existing sites to an UltraStack ONE server in minutes and deploying updates from InMotion Central without logging in to the WordPress Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
