Publishing makes your website accessible on the internet. Click the Publish button in the website builder to open the publishing panel.

​
Choosing a subdomain

Every published website gets a subdomain at aicofounder.co. For example, if your project is called “Sunrise Coffee”, your site might be at sunrise-coffee.aicofounder.co. The subdomain is generated from your project name by default, but you can edit it to whatever you’d like. Subdomains can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Click Edit domain to change your subdomain before or after publishing. Publish panel showing subdomain and live status
