Been running this for a few client sites on Hostinger's shared plan. Nothing fancy, but it beats FTP.
#!/bin/bash
# push-staging.sh
REMOTE="[email protected]:/public_html"
rsync -avz --exclude='wp-config.php' ./ $REMOTE
ssh [email protected] "cd /public_html && wp search-replace 'example.com' 'staging.example.com.com' --allow-root"Hot take: most staging "solutions" are just rsync with marketing. This handles the DB URL swap so clients stop emailing me about broken media links.
For what it's worth, I skip wp-config.php because Hostinger stores staging DB creds differently and I got burned once overwriting it.
What would you add?
