What the help and support guide covers

Putting a site online follows a clear order: register a domain name, choose hosting (free to learn, paid for anything real), point the domain's DNS at your host, build the site with a builder, an installed app, or a template, add an SSL certificate for HTTPS, then test and launch. Take the steps one at a time and each is straightforward.

1 Free Website is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission when you sign up through them, at no extra cost to you. We only point to hosts, registrars, and tools we would use to launch our own site.
