Publishing your website

How publishing and payment work, and where your site goes live.

Publishing for the first time

  1. 1Click Publish in the editor.
  2. 2If you're not logged in, you'll be asked to log in or sign up.
  3. 3You'll be taken to a secure Stripe checkout for your site's monthly plan.
  4. 4After paying, you're brought back and your site is published.

Your site goes live straight away at yourname.needthatwebsite.com. You can see the link at the top of the editor ("Live at…").

Tip: If you've just paid and the site doesn't show as live, give it a few seconds and press Publish again. The payment confirmation can take a moment to arrive.

Updating a live site

Make your changes, then click Publish again. No extra payment is needed while your plan is active.

Using your own domain

Once published, you can buy a domain or connect one you already own. When your own domain is connected, your free address automatically redirects to it.
