Will my website go live immediately?

No. You'll need to publish your website to make it live. So this means that your website is not immediately live when you purchase a domain.

If you have already registered your own domain name, you can easily publish your website by clicking on the green Publish button in the top right-hand corner of the Editor. This will put your website online for the world to see!

Do you have a free website? If you click on the green Publish button, you will see a pop-up to choose your own domain name. This will also activate a paid plan.

Tip: Want to see how your website looks live? Click on the preview icon in the Editor.

Note: A free website is automatically hosted on a private URL. You cannot choose a free (sub)domain for this. For educational or private purposes, you can use the private URL and share it with others.
