Go live on your own web address

#Start going live

Press Go live in the top bar, or open Settings and find Go live. Building and publishing to your preview stay free; going live on your own address needs a plan. See the website builder page for what it costs.

#1. Pay for your plan

If your business already has TruLata, you see Add it to my bill instead: your website goes on the same bill as an add-on, paid with the same card. Cancel it any time.

If you leave the checkout before paying, the builder says Payment not finished. Your site is saved; pick it up any time.

1. Pick monthly or yearly billing.
2. Type the email address for your receipts.
3. Press Continue to payment and pay on our secure checkout. You come back to the builder when it is done.

#2. Connect your domain

Until the record is seen, the builder says Not pointed yet. A new record can take from a few minutes to a few hours to be seen. We keep checking. Press Check again to look now.

1. Type the web address your customers use, for example yourbusiness.com, and press Save.
2. The builder shows a record: its type, its name and what it points to.
3. Where your address is managed (the company you bought it from), add that record.

#3. You are live

As soon as your address points at your site, it goes live by itself and we email you. You can close the builder meanwhile. Or press Go live yourself once it says the address is pointed.

The secure certificate follows within a few minutes. Your live site is open to search engines, and a few minutes after it goes live we tell Google and Bing about your site and its list of pages, so new pages are found sooner.

If you built from an existing site, the rest of its pages come in once you have a plan.
