Domains & going live

Your web address and who is allowed to reach it. Start on the free subdomain that comes with every project, connect your own domain when you are ready, and control whether the site is publicly visible, private, or still being worked on.

• Your free subdomain Your free web address: how to change it, why some names are refused, and when to move to a domain of your own.
• Connect a custom domain Connect a domain you own with two DNS records - ownership and traffic - then verify, with the common failures and what each one means.
• Site status & visibility Set your site Live, Draft, Maintenance or Archived, password-protect it, and restrict access by country.
