Please refer to the video on How to Connect Domain to Website Builder (youtube.com) 

Once your domain is set up in the Web.com Account Manager, you can return to the Site Editor and hit the Publish button to go online:

  • The pop-up with publishing steps will appear.
  • Select the domain for publishing in the drop-down:

Please Note: The publishing process can take several minutes. Alternatively, you can choose Continue Editing from the pop-up.

  • When your project is published, it will appear in the Published Site section. Click the domain name to open your site:

Please Note: Only one project can be published to a domain at a time. If you want to publish a different project, you need to unpublish the current one. If you would like to publish the project to a different domain, please unpublish it and then click Publish to select a different domain from the drop-down.

Unpublishing Your Website

  • To unpublish the website, click on the drop-down to the right of the Publish button and select Unpublish:

  • Confirm by clicking Yes.

Purchasing a Custom Domain

You can purchase a custom domain name directly in the Site Editor. When you publish your website on a free domain, a suggestion to buy a custom domain name will appear in the publishing pop-up. 

To find and purchase a custom domain name:

  • Select Search for Custom Domain in the publishing pop-up:

  • Enter the domain name you would like to use in the search bar and click Search Domain.
  • You will be redirected to the Checkout Page to finish the purchase:

  • Once the purchase is completed, the new domain name will be automatically added to the project.

Please Note: You need to publish your website to apply the new custom domain name.
