Create a website
Steps
- Go to Websites and click Create website (first time: Create your first website).
- Choose a hosting package you already own, or buy hosting if you don't have one yet.
- Pick the type of site:
- WordPress — the most popular option, installed for you.
- Another application — choose from the app catalogue.
- Static site (no PHP) — for plain HTML/CSS or a site builder's export.
- Choose Start fresh or Migrate an existing site (see Migrate a website).
- Set your primary domain (register/connect one if needed).
- For WordPress, enter the admin username, admin email, and password, plus site title, language, and timezone.
- Review the summary and click to create. Your site is provisioned with free SSL shortly after.
After it's created
Manage everything from Websites → [site]: domains, backups, SSL, staging, file manager, databases, PHP, cron, cache, security, and more.
Troubleshooting
- No hosting package? — buy one first, then return to the wizard.
- Domain not ready? — you can create the site on a temporary address and attach your domain later under Domains.
