Publishing Options
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:
- Purchase a custom top level domain and still host your site with us for free.
- Publish to a free subdomain and host your site with us for free.
- Transfer your top level domain and host your site with us for free.
- Publish to a domain you purchased elsewhere (only available to Yola Silver account holders or certain partner programs).

Important Information:
- 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!
- 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. Take a peek at our Promotion, SEO, Traffic and Advertising tutorial for more information on getting your site indexed.
