Advices concerning the test of some 'connected' features on my staging environment

Hello,

Im working on a webproject with Kentico (Ultimate license for 10 websites) and i need to add some social network features (Facebook like button, Google plus +1, etc...)

Our development environment is a single virtual machine, hosted in my company using the Windows Server Hyper-V Feature. Its very practical, but i need now to test these connected features to be sure that everything will be ok for the release date.

My problem is that my environment is totally closed. I only can access to my website using the Hostname (or IP) of my machine. (Note that I have an internet access but just to the outside)

Whats the best solution to organize my tests? - Adding a DNS role on my machine to access to it from outside? Hosting my staging website using an host provider to have a identical environment with the production environment (ISO)? (Was thinking about the test of the URL Rewriting for example in the same case)

Anyway, i can't have any issues concerning the referencement of my website, it can't be referenced.

Thank you for your advices!

Guillaume

Hello,

I do not see how is this related to Kentico - since your environment is closed, there is nothing we can do from Kentico CMS - you need to ensure that the web server, where Kentico application is running, can be accessible online so the communication between the web application and the third party sites is possible.

Best regards,
