Choose Your Site Builder Address

Before creating your website, you will need to choose a website address that you can use to visit your website. Bravenet offers the ability to create a website using a free subdomain or a paid custom domain name. You will have the ability to easily rename the website at anytime. Our builder will automatically update any built-in page links once you rename your website so any name you choose does not have to be permanent.


Option 1: Choosing A Free Subdomain

You can choose a free *.bravesites.com subdomain. This is a good option if you want to create a website without any additional domain name costs, or if you have not yet decided what your domain name will be. Note you can assign a paid domain name to your website at anytime. Simply select the 'I would like a Site Builder subdomain' option and fill in the subdomain field with a unique website name. Then, click 'Create Site' to generate your new website.

Option 2: Assigning Your Own Domain Name

If you have already registered your own custom domain name, you can assign it your website builder by selecting the 'Use one of my registered domains' option, then select the domain from the dropdown. Then, click 'Create Site' to generate your new website.

Option 3: Register A New Domain Name

You can purchase a new domain name by selecting the 'I want to register a New Domain Name' option. Search for a new domain name in the search bar and you can purchase this domain if it is currently available. You can also purchase domain names at any time by navigating to the 'Domains' tab in your account and then clicking 'Register A Domain'. Once you have found the domain name of your chouce, click 'Create Site' to generate your new website.
