SSL / HTTPS
Similar to HTTP, HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol over SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or, alternately, HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure.

A staging site, or a testing/best site, is the final testing platform for a site before it goes live. The site will have the full back-end system and content management tied into it and generally the final content tweaks are made here so when the site is pushed live it's 100% complete.
