How do I publish my website to the internet for everyone to see?

To put your site online, so that it can be viewed by the public, you need to publish it!

Yola has tried to make every possible publishing option available to you. Please note that site building and hosting with Yola is free, regardless of which publishing option you select.

You can:

1. Publish to a free subdomain and host your site with us for free.
2. Purchase a custom top level domain (.com, .net, .biz or .org) and still host your site with us for free.
3. Publish to a domain you already own and still host your site with us for free.
4. Download your site and host it elsewhere.

Important Information:

1. If you select options 1,2 or 3 you can easily make changes to your published site at any time, so there is no need to wait until your site is "finished" before you publish it. Good websites are always "under construction" and you should continue to update your site as often as possible after you publish it.
2. When you publish your site anyone will be able to view your site by clicking on a link to your site that you provide, or by typing your URL (web address) into the address bar of their browser. However, you will not be able to search for your site immediately as it takes time for newly published sites to be indexed by search engines.
