NOTE: This article is only applicable to websites listed under the Web Hosting tab in your Bravenet account.

To build a new site, choose the 'Rename' option from the Rename column in the corresponding row of the website you wish to rename.

When building your website, you will first need to select a unique name to address your website. You are will be prompted to select one of the following options:

* '''Use an existing domain'''

This will allow you to select from a list of [[What is a domain name? | domains]] that you have registered, either by registering them through Bravenet or adding as an external domain. If you do not have a domain registered yet, this option will not appear.

* '''Use a subdomain'''

This will allow you to [[Creating a subdomain | create a subdomain]] to refer to your webspace (ie: myname.example.com). If you do not have a domain registered, you will be creating a subdomain on bravehost.com - for example, myname.bravehost.com.

* '''Use a domain registered elsewhere'''

This will allow you to use a domain that you have registered with another provider. You will have the option of [[Adding an external domain | setting an external domain]], or [[Transfering a domain | transferring your domain]].

* '''Register a domain'''

If you do not already have a domain registered, we can help you with that! More information on this process is found in the [[Registering a domain]] article.

With our Professional Hosting package you can manage sites on an unlimited number of different domain names.
