Welcome! This guide will help you take a site live on Pantheon.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Upgrade a site to a paid plan
- Add a custom domain
- Enable free, automated HTTPS
- Redirect traffic to a single domain (e.g.,
www.example.com or example.com)
- Enable and schedule weekly backups
- Review status reports
- Optimize performance
To get started, you need to create your Live environment and have a registered domain name where you can control DNS settings.
Note
Pantheon is not a domain registrar, and we do not offer DNS management as a service. To connect a custom domain to Pantheon, you need to register one with a third-party provider.
