Why is the domain I paid for 2 months ago not showing up on my website builder.

How can I build my website if the domain I paid for isn't even showing up in the drop down menu for website builder?

Setting up a website with Homestead involves logging into your account, selecting a template in the website builder, customizing elements (text, images, forms) via the left panel, and clicking publish. Users can manage pages, add e-commerce functionality, and adjust SEO settings through the editor to launch their site. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Steps to Setup a Website
  • Create a New Site: Log into your Homestead account, go to the "Websites Manager," and click "Add New Website".
  • Choose a Template: Select from over 200 templates that provide the foundational layout and color scheme. Note: The template cannot be changed once selected and saved.
  • Use the Editor:
    • Elements: Click on the 'Elements' option to drag and drop components like text, images, buttons, and maps.
    • Pages: Use the 'Pages' menu to add, rename, reorder, or delete pages, and to create drop-down menus.
    • Design: Customize the site’s color palette and fonts via the 'Design' option.
  • Configure Settings & SEO: Use 'Manage Pages' to set up page-specific SEO, including titles, keywords, and descriptions, and to set the homepage.
  • Publish: Once satisfied, save your changes and use the publish button to make your site live.
