Add a favicon for Web Hosting

Lean how to add a favicon to your website.

Article ID: SLN29376

Before adding a favicon to your site, you will need to create the favicon first using your own program or a third-party program.

Note: If your website was built using Website Builder, follow these steps. If your site or blog was built with WordPress, follow these steps

Add a favicon

  1. Sign in to your My Services page.

  2. Click the Hosting link.

  3. Under File Management Tools, click the File Manager link.
    The File Manager link.

  4. Upload the favicon.ico file to the root directory in File Manager. Note: We recommend a 16x16, 32x32, or 48x48 pixel image. Make sure the file name is favicon.ico.

  5. Add the following code to the HTML Head section of your site pages:  


    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
  6. Save and Publish your changes.

Note: Most browsers will display the favicon if it is simply uploaded into the root directory of the File Manager. Just be sure to name the file favicon.ico.

Tip: If you find that a Turbify favicon is still in the place of your favicon after the update, rename the favicon.ico file to something else such as favicon_new.ico then update the code in the HTML Head section of your site pages:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon_new.ico">
