Might be a silly question, but do people have test / dummy WordPress sites for testing stuff? I'm not super experienced so apologies if this is rookie.

I'm often reading about a plugin / theme and thinking I'd like to test it. I have a Cloudways server - should I just have a dummy site on there that I keep for testing stuff like this? Is that normal or is there another way?

FYI I'm not talking about staging sites, I get about those. I'm more thinking about a total 'testing ground' type idea which will never be a live / used site, just somewhere for a designer / dev to test new tools
