When an ETINU web site is set up, various processes happen behind the screens to ensure the security of your site is optimised with resilience built-in.

Along with your correct web site, for example: http://www.platypusconsultancy.com/ there's two other domains used:

• The one that uses the etinu.net domain, for example, platypusconsultancy.etinu.net, is another name for the live site. Please note, once the site is live, this only appears when you login as superadministrator or administrator (or as a registered user), because it's using ETINU's secure certificate. For more information, please see this blog post about the certificate
• The one that uses the cb4live.com domain, for example, platypusconsultancy.cb4live.com, is one of the development servers and also acts as the backup server. Every night all site's content is copied over from the live site onto this site. It means if something happens to the live server, we can make one DNS change (domain name server, a change at a high level for all sites) that point all the DNSs in the world to point to the backup server.

Within ETINU, sections and subsections can be made private while you add content to them on the live site. Then when you're happy with the page, make it open to the public. However, cb4live.com can be used by super-administrators/administrators to experiment too, but note, due to the overnight backup, the additions and changes you made will be gone the following day.
