Need more help w/ Sub Domains and ServerPilot

Hey Jesse,

So I was able to move forward with your workflow and I'm loving it so far! Glad you guys convinced me to try it again :D

I'm slightly confused on how I would hook up my domain names to Serverpilot though... I have my VPS through DigitalOcean and I followed the instuctions there with nameservers. I went to my registrar and put in the names servers from Digital Ocean, I then added the subdomain name in the domain section of my serverpilot, but it's not finding anything when I go to the link.

I was hoping you could give me a quick run through on how you would set up your sub domain for staging and then the live one...

For example on my registrar's site I setup www.mysite.com and then I created a subdomain called staging.mysite.com. What would I do to get this working, and furthermore would I install the live and staging site to the same folder within my server pilot? Or would I want to have two different folders for each site?

Thanks so much for the help!!
