# Site management

> Manage your Glowply site from one place: open the dashboard, visit your live site, and learn how SSL and custom domains work.

The **Site management (إدارة الموقع)** tab is the home base for your website. From here you can see your site's details at a glance, open your site dashboard to build and edit, and visit your live site to see it the way visitors do.

You'll find it in your **account portal** under **Site management**.

<Info>
  Glowply runs in two areas. The **account portal** (where you are now) handles billing and your account. Your **site dashboard** is where you build pages and run your store — you open it from this tab. This page explains how to move between them.
</Info>

## Your site card

The Site management tab shows a card with the key facts about your website:

* **Domain** — your site's web address, always in the form `name.myglowply.com`
* **Plan** — the subscription plan your site is on
* **Active since** — the date your site was created and went live
* **Status** — whether your site is currently active

Two buttons sit on the card: one opens your site dashboard, and one opens your live site. They do different things — the next sections explain each.

## Open your site dashboard

Your **site dashboard** is where you build pages, manage your **Store (المتجر)**, write posts, and open the **Builder (البلدر)**. You reach it with one click — there's no separate password to remember.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Site management">
    In your account portal, open the **Site management** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Glowply dashboard">
    Select **Glowply dashboard** on your site card. Glowply signs you in securely and opens your site dashboard in a new browser tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build and manage your site">
    You're now in your site dashboard. From here you can edit pages, manage products and orders, upload media, and more.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Glowply dashboard** uses secure single sign-on, so you're logged in automatically — no extra username or password. It opens in a new tab, leaving your account portal open behind it.
</Note>

Want to know what's inside the dashboard? See <a href="/en/site/dashboard-overview">Dashboard overview</a> and <a href="/en/site/builder-overview">Builder overview</a>.

## Visit your live site

**Visit site** opens your website exactly as your visitors and customers see it — the public, live version at your `name.myglowply.com` address.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Site management">
    In your account portal, open the **Site management** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Visit site">
    Select **Visit site** on your site card. Your live website opens in a new browser tab.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Use **Visit site** to review your changes after editing. Make your edits in the **Builder**, save them, then open **Visit site** to see the result the way a real visitor would.
</Tip>

## SSL and HTTPS

Your site is **secured automatically** with HTTPS. The padlock and the `https://` in your address are handled for you — there's nothing to set up, renew, or configure.

<Note>
  SSL (the security certificate behind HTTPS) is included and managed by Glowply for every site. You don't need to buy, install, or renew a certificate — your site is encrypted from day one.
</Note>

## Custom domain

Every Glowply site comes with a free address in the form `name.myglowply.com`. If you'd like to use your own web address — such as `yourbrand.com` — you can request a **custom domain (النطاق المخصص)**.

A custom domain isn't something you set up yourself in the portal. Our team maps it to your site for you.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Have your domain ready">
    Make sure you own the domain you want to use (for example, you bought `yourbrand.com` from a domain registrar).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Contact support">
    Reach out through <a href="/en/contact-support">support</a> and tell us the domain you'd like to connect to your site.
  </Step>

  <Step title="We map it for you">
    Our team connects your custom domain to your Glowply site. We'll let you know once it's live.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Custom domains are set up by request — they're not self-serve. You keep your original `name.myglowply.com` address, and your custom domain can be mapped to the same site on request. Both can point to the same website.
</Note>

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's the difference between Glowply dashboard and Visit site?">
    **Glowply dashboard** opens the private editor where you build and manage your site. **Visit site** opens the public, live version that anyone can see. Use the dashboard to make changes, and Visit site to preview the result.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to set up SSL or HTTPS?">
    No. Your site is secured automatically with HTTPS. There's nothing to install, buy, or renew — Glowply handles it for every site.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use my own domain name?">
    Yes. You can request a custom domain through support, and our team will map it to your site. You keep your `name.myglowply.com` address as well.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I change my name.myglowply.com address?">
    Your `name.myglowply.com` address is set when your site is created. If you need a different web address, the usual path is to request a custom domain through <a href="/en/contact-support">support</a>.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The Glowply dashboard didn't open — what should I do?">
    It opens in a new browser tab, so check that your browser didn't block a pop-up. Allow pop-ups for Glowply, then click **Glowply dashboard** again. If it still doesn't open, contact <a href="/en/contact-support">support</a>.
