The Website status settings allow you to control your website’s visibility and manage which domain name visitors use to access your site.

Open the site settings

Open the website builder.
Click the main menu icon located in the top left corner of the top bar.
Select Settings.

4. In the Common settings area, select Website status.

Site visibility

Use the Site visibility dropdown to control your website’s public access.

Online: Your website is visible to all visitors.
Offline: Your website is hidden from the public. This is helpful when building your site, making major updates, or preparing content before launch.

Setting a preferred domain

If multiple domain names are connected to your website, selecting a "preferred" domain ensures your site has one consistent address. This prevents visitors and search engines from accessing multiple versions of your site (for example, mywebsite.com vs. www.mywebsite.com).

To set a preferred domain:

Find the Preferred domain dropdown.
Select the domain name you want visitors to see in their browser.
Enable Always redirect to preferred domain. This ensures that even if a visitor enters a different connected domain, they’ll be automatically redirected to your chosen primary address.
