The dotCMS Demo Site
The dotCMS Demo Site is a live public instance running the latest version of dotCMS.
How to Access the Demo Site#
URLs#
You can use the following URLs to access the Demo Site. (Note that both URLs will open the demo site in a new browser tab).
| Front end (Server Rendered) | https://demo.dotcms.com |  |
| Backend console | https://demo.dotcms.com/dotAdmin |  |
Login Information#
The following information can also be used to log in to the back end of the Demo Site:
| User Name | admin@dotcms.com |
| Password | admin |
Please note that it is possible for another user to login to the Demo Site and change the login credentials. If you are unable to login to the Demo Site using these credentials, please either wait until the Demo Site is automatically reset, or contact us at dotCMS — info @ dotcms.com — to request that access to the Demo Site be restored.
The Demo Site also provides a useful platform to test features out ahead of, or in parallel to, use on your own site. The Demo Site is always running the latest version of dotCMS, and is always started from a clean version of the dotCMS Starter Site. If something is not working as expected on your own site, you can try it on the Demo Site to help determine if the problem is in your code and configuration, due to something else you've implemented on your site which differs from a standard site, etc.
The Demo Site is restarted — and wiped completely clean of all changes — twice a day, at roughly 00:00 and 12:00 GMT. At each of the reset times, the Demo Site may be down for 10-15 minutes. After each reset, the Demo Site is recreated from scratch using the dotCMS Starter Site, and any changes made priort to the reset are lost and can not be recovered.
