Hello, a question here from a total novice regarding the use of Ionos and WordPress. Having purchased a domain name in the form of "xxx".fr, I find myself on my dashboard with the URL: https://"xxx".live-website.com/

Not knowing what this means, whether my site is published or not, what is this "live-website.com" added to the domain name? How can I replace it with "xxx".fr? Moreover, the latter does not work and redirects to an Ionos page, indicating that this "domain name is already registered".

    Hello,

    It seems that your domain name, "xxx".fr, is not properly linked to your hosting and the files of your site.

    Hello bg62, before creating a post here, I of course did a Google search and I actually came across this WordPress discussion: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-live-website-com-what-exactly-is-that/ (which seems to be the only thread dedicated to this subject);)

    But having difficulties with English, I'm having a hard time understanding the issue being discussed. The name "smoke and mirrors" is mentioned, the "coming-soon" plugin (which I haven't installed) and other concepts that I'm still unsure about. Maybe you know the procedure to follow yourself (which is potentially very simple after all)?

    Hello yg_be, I also assume that I haven't completed the registration process. If that's the case, how can I enable this association?
