Building a new site to replace an existing site

Build a separate site in the same account so your current site can stay live while you work on its replacement.

1. From your dashboard, open My Sites and choose Create New Website.
2. Choose a design and a free yourwebsitespace.com address, then click Continue. Build and test the new site.
3. When you’re ready to switch, open Billing and assign the subscriptions from your original site to the new site. Then open Domains and point your domain to the new site.

Note: Compare the page URLs on both sites before switching. Keep the same paths for pages you want existing links to reach.
