# Create a website

## Steps

1. Go to **Websites** and click **Create website** (first time: **Create your first website**).
2. Choose a **hosting package** you already own, or **buy hosting** if you don't have one yet.
3. 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.
4. Choose **Start fresh** or **Migrate** an existing site (see *Migrate a website*).
5. Set your **primary domain** (register/connect one if needed).
6. For WordPress, enter the **admin username, admin email, and password**, plus **site title**, **language**, and **timezone**.
7. 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**.
