Open the right domain workspace
Open My domains. A domain purchased through ID360 appears automatically after the order synchronizes. Select Open workspace for that name and read Registration; a paid transfer can still be pending. Use the domain selector when you own more than one.

Complete required verification
If the workspace says registrant verification is pending, resend the email if needed and follow the registrar's verification link. This required contact check helps prevent suspension.
- 03
Check DNS and any outside-domain proof
Read DNS provider. With ID360-managed DNS, supported service records can be configured after your connection or publishing action and conflict checks. External nameservers stay in place. For a domain registered elsewhere, copy the exact account-specific TXT name and value from the connection instructions, add it at your DNS provider, and choose Check now. Keep that TXT while connected; a shared hosting address or routing record alone does not prove account ownership.

Design, preview and publish the same website
Each active ID360 domain includes starter static hosting. Review a saved draft first. Background setup prepares a private Coming soon starter for an eligible domain with no saved website; it may take time to appear and never replaces an existing site. You can also choose Upload HTML or Create a Coming soon page. For Coming soon, enter your business name, a short introduction and an optional public contact email, then select Create my preview. This saves a private draft without Studio actions, publishing or DNS changes. Open Edit in ID360, then Design website to edit text, images, colors and links for free. Add Sections or up to 12 Pages to this same website; no export and re-import are needed. Use Preview to check the layout. In the editor, open Publish, choose this eligible active domain, tick the connection confirmation, and select Publish & connect domain. No extra hosting plan is purchased here. Optional Website Studio is a separate paid choice: review its plan, action balance and cost before choosing Generate. In Your services, paid services and Microsoft licences are separate from registration.

Follow connection progress
Open View connection progress after publishing, or Refresh status in this workspace. Domain, Website & hosting, and Connect & check describe separate stages. Background DNS and HTTPS checks continue when you leave. If setup pauses for a conflict or external DNS, open DNS & settings, review the instructions, and preserve existing website and email records. After resolving the issue, publish with this domain again. Once ready, open and test the live website.
