 Publish a Website Builder site to a different domain

A Website Builder site cannot be switched directly from one domain to another. Additional steps are needed to disconnect the site from its current domain before publishing it to another.

  1. Create a new Website Builder site. This site will be used to replace the Website Builder site you want to move on the domain it is moving away from. The site can be as simple or complex as you want.
  2. Publish the new Website Builder site to the current domain. This will unlink the prior Website Builder site from the domain.
  3. Click the Site Name dropdown the top left to switch back to the Website Builder site being moved. This site will now be in Draft status and available to publish to the domain you want to move it to.
