# Creating a Production Environment
## Environment
In ReadyMage we use the term "Environment" to refer to an infrastructure instance where the website with all its services is deployed and used for its intended purposes.
ReadyMage accounts can have one or multiple environments and each of them can be used for different purposes. You start out with a single environment and can create additional ones on demand.
The most common is to have 3 environments - production, staging, and development.
* A production environment is used to host the version of the website for commercial daily operations.
* A staging environment is used to test changes made for the website before deploying them to the production environment.
* A development environment is used to test individual change to ensure that it works after it has been developed locally.
