Create a Site

Create a site when you need a destination where Atomicat pages can be published.

A site can start with an Atomicat-provided domain and later be connected to a custom domain. This lets you build, publish, test, and improve pages before sending traffic to a branded URL.

Before you create a site​

Make sure you know:

  • The campaign, brand, product, or client the site belongs to
  • Whether you want to publish with an Atomicat domain first
  • Whether a custom domain will be connected later
  • Which project should contain the site, if you use projects
  • Whether your plan includes the site and hosting features you need

Create a site​

  1. Open Sites from the Atomicat dashboard.
  2. Select Create Site.
  3. Enter a clear site name.
  4. Review the domain preview shown in the modal.
  5. Confirm the creation.
  6. Wait for Atomicat to create the site.
  7. Open the site from the Sites list when it is ready.

The site name helps Atomicat create or identify the publishing destination. Depending on your account setup, Atomicat may add a generated suffix or use a configured hosting domain.

Choosing a good site name​

Use names that describe the campaign or destination clearly.

Good examples:

  • main-brand
  • product-launch
  • webinar-funnel
  • lead-generation
  • client-name-campaign

Avoid vague names such as:

  • test
  • new-site
  • site1
  • landing

Clear names reduce mistakes when you manage many campaigns or publish multiple pages.

How site creation works​

When a site is created, Atomicat prepares a publishing destination. Depending on your account setup and modules, this may include:

  • An Atomicat domain or subdomain
  • A hosting destination
  • A project association
  • A site status while setup is processing
  • Available actions such as connect domain, open site, or manage hosting options

If the site is still being created, you may see an in-progress state before the live URL is ready.

Site creation and projects​

If a project is selected when you create a site, Atomicat can assign the site to that project.

This is useful when you manage:

  • Multiple clients
  • Multiple products
  • Separate campaigns
  • Different traffic sources
  • Different brands or languages

Common reasons site creation may fail​

IssueWhat to check
Plan limitationYour plan may limit the number of sites or require a paid subscription.
Invalid nameThe site name may include unsupported characters or be too long.
Duplicate setupA similar site or domain may already exist.
Hosting limitYour account may have reached a site or hosting limit.
Temporary service issueTry again later or contact support if the issue continues.

Best practices​

  • Create the site before building a complete publishing workflow.
  • Keep the site name short and descriptive.
  • Use a project when the site belongs to a larger campaign.
  • Test the Atomicat domain before connecting a custom domain.
  • Do not delete a site unless you are sure no active pages depend on it.

Frequently asked questions​

Do I need a custom domain to create a site?

No. You can create a site and publish using an Atomicat domain first.

Can I connect a domain after creating the site?

Yes. After the site exists, you can connect a custom domain from the Sites area.

Why do I see a loading or in-progress status?

Atomicat may still be preparing the hosting destination. Wait for the process to finish before testing the live URL.

Can I create unlimited sites?

Site limits depend on your plan, subscription, modules, and account configuration.
