Installation Configuration

I've got a site that I've updated from Laravel 4 to Laravel 5, and I want to make my switch to production and have both sites up until the last second and then switch. I'm not sure how to do this in Laravel Forge.

I'm thinking one option would be to spin up a new DO server and install my new site there, get everything transferred, and then update DNS.

BUT it would be better if I could just install it as a new site on the existing server and then tell forge to load the new one instead of the old one, but I don't see a way in Laravel forge to update a website's domain once it's been created.

Any recommendations?
