I purchased my domain from GoDaddy but purchased the hosting through Blue Host.
Right now my primary domain is working just fine. However, I want to setup a staging environment for the client to test changes I have made without rolling them out into production for them to test.
I have done the following:
When I navigate to the staging.[primary domain name].net URL, it is returning a 403 Forbidden response.
I would have expected it to work just fine considering that the only differences from my primary domain is that I'm using this staging prefix.

I have done the following:
- Create a new staging database
- Imported my production schema/data into the staging database
- Created a staging folder in my root/public_html directory
- Copied my production files to the root/public_html/staging directory
- Added a subdomain in Blue Host named "staging":
- It resolves to staging.[primary domain name].net -and-
- The document root is the newly created root/public_html/staging directory
