Choose your website address
Pick the free yourname.dollarsite.page address people type to find you, and change it later if you need to.
Updated
Every website gets a free address like melissamassage.dollarsite.page, with the secure padlock (HTTPS) set up for you. You can pick the name yourself.
Where to pick it
- When you create a website: open Choose your website address and type the name you want. Leave it empty and we make one from your business name.
- On the Make it live page and in Settings, while your website is still a draft: type a new name in Your website address and press Use this address. You can change it as often as you like until your website is live.
As you type, we check the name for you. A green check means it's free. If it isn't, we suggest a few names that are.
The rules
- Letters a to z, numbers and hyphens (-). Spaces and underscores become hyphens for you, and accents are dropped (café becomes cafe).
- 3 to 30 characters, not only numbers, and no hyphen at the start or end.
- Each name can belong to only one website.
- Some names aren't available: names we use for the service itself, other companies' brand names, and offensive words. We don't say which rule a name broke. You'll see "That name isn't available. Please try another." and some suggestions.
- Sometimes a name is fine but our team takes a quick look before the website goes live. We email you when it's approved.
Keeping your name
We keep the name for your draft website while you work on it, for 14 days after your last change. If you don't touch the website for longer, someone else may take the name, and your draft gets a new address (you can pick another one). Once your website is live to the Internet, the name is yours for as long as the website exists.
Changing the address of a live website
If changing the address of a live website is available for your account, you'll find it in Settings → Your website address:
- The old address keeps working for 12 months and sends visitors to the new one, so printed cards and old links keep working.
- You can change it once every 30 days, at most 3 times a year. Changing it is free.
- Afterwards, update the address yourself on your Google Business Profile, social media pages and printed material.
- If your website has been live for a while, search engines can take a few weeks to show the new address.
If you connected your own domain (like www.yourbusiness.com), it stays your main address. Only the free address changes.
