Creating & Deploying a Site
A site is a container for one website — create it, upload a build, and move it live with a zero-downtime promote. Roll back to any previous build in one click.
A site is a container for one website — it holds your deployments, domains, form submissions, subscribers, SEO settings, and analytics. It is completely independent of your store; you don't need a store to create one.
Create the site
Screen: Go to Hosting → Hosted Apps.
Click New Site
From the Sites list, click New Site and give it a name.
It's created and isolated
Each site is private to your account and isolated from every other customer's sites.
Your free address is reserved
On your first deploy, the site is automatically given a free address: your-site.sites.billionbiz.in (the exact slug is derived from the name and made unique). DNS and HTTPS are handled for you — the certificate is issued on demand and is usually live within seconds.
Before your first deploy, visitors see a friendly "coming soon" page rather than an error.
Rename or delete a site
Screen: Go to Hosting → Hosted Apps.
Each site row has a pencil icon (rename) and a trash icon (delete) next to its View action.
- Rename opens a dialog with a single Site name field. Renaming only changes the display name in your admin panel — it doesn't change the site's free
*.sites.billionbiz.inaddress or any custom domain already connected. - Delete opens a confirmation dialog before doing anything: "This will permanently delete the site and all its deployments. This cannot be undone." Confirming removes the site itself along with its deployment history; its free address and any connected custom domains stop resolving once the site is gone.
Deletion is permanent
There's no undo and no trash/recovery period for a deleted site. Make sure you don't need any of its deployments before confirming.
The deploy lifecycle: upload → promote → rollback
Every build you upload becomes a deployment. A deployment moves through these states:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Processing | Your zip has been received and is being validated and unpacked |
| Ready | The build is stored and validated, but not yet live |
| Live | Currently serving your visitors (only one deployment is live at a time) |
| Failed | Validation failed; nothing was published and your current live site is untouched |
| Rolled back | A previously-live deployment that was replaced by a rollback (re-promoting an earlier build sets the deployment it demoted to this state) |
Screen: Go to your site → Deployments tab.
- Promote makes a Ready deployment live. It's an instant, zero-downtime switch — your files don't move, BillionBiz just points the live pointer at the new build, then refreshes its cache.
- Rollback is simply re-promoting a previous deployment. If something looks wrong after a deploy, one click restores the prior version — no re-upload needed. BillionBiz keeps your most recent deployments (how many depends on your plan) so you always have versions to roll back to.
Safe by design
A failed or invalid upload never takes your site down — the previous live version keeps serving until a new build is successfully promoted.
Next steps
- Uploading Your Site — the build command and what to zip, by framework.
- Connecting a Custom Domain — point your own domain at your live site.
