Our Website Builder can help you build a new website to promote your business that looks like it was build by a professional web developer. Using our simple WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface, anyone can build a modern looking, responsive website, regardless of skill levels.

Choose from one of our many themes to begin and make use of our library of stock images, elements and addons to make your website as unique as your business.

I will use my existing domain and update my nameservers

Finally, choose this option if you intend to use your Website Builder service with a domain that you already have registered with us, or a domain that is registered elsewhere and you intend to keep it that way. While your domain does not need to registered with us to use the Website Builder service, you will be responsible for updating your domain nameservers or DNS records to use the service

Please include in your ticket what package you wish to purchase and the domain (subdomain) that you would like the service set up for. We will create the order and generate the invoice for you. Please review the order to ensure that everything is correct before payment.

Next, you can choose your Billing term. You can choose between Monthly and Annual terms. You will also be able to add any Addon service to your order here. Click on Continue once you are done.

Finally, you will need to check the two boxes to confirm that you read the Terms of Service and that you are aware that you are signing up to a subscription service. You will also need to select your Payment method. You can also add any Additional notes for your new Website Builder service.

Once you are happy with the order, click on the Complete Order button to finalize your order. Once processed, you will receive notifications in your mailbox of the order and the invoice created.

Before using your new Website Builder service

Now that you have purchased your new Website Builder service, you can start using it. Here are a few things you should know before you start.

Replacing your existing site

If you are not ready to replace your current site, you don’t have to. You can build your new website without affecting your current website. Once you are happy with your new website, you can …

Update your DNS records or name servers

Depending on your account setup (mainly if you are using your domain based emails), you will need to update your domain DNS records before your new site will be live. If your domain is registered with us and you are using our name servers, you can do this directly from your client area. If your domain is not registered with us, or you are using someone else’s name servers, you will need to contact them for assistance with updating your DNS records/name servers. You can find the required records in your service management page in your client area.

Don’t be afraid to experiment
