# What Happens When Your Website Goes Live

What happens when your new AgentFire website goes live on your domain: what to check first, what we do, how long it takes, and why your nameservers point to AgentFire.

When your new website is ready, we move it to your domain, like `yourname.com`. This page covers what to check before that happens, what we do, and what to expect afterward.

## Before launch: three things to check

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Do you have email on this domain?

If you use an address like `you@yourname.com`, its settings have to move with your domain or your email can stop working. We scan your domain and copy the records we find, but a scan can miss some. Before launch, ask whoever manages your domain's DNS for a full export of its records and send it to us. See [How to Send Us Your DNS Records](/faqs-and-general/common-questions/how-to-send-us-your-dns-zone-records.md).

AgentFire doesn't host email. See [Does AgentFire Host Email?](/faqs-and-general/common-questions/articles-1504924-do-you-host-emails.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Are you replacing an old website?

Pages on your old website may have Google rankings. Redirects send visitors and Google from the old page addresses to the new ones. See [Preserving SEO rankings from your old website (301 Redirects)](/launch/redirects-and-dns-management/articles-1505032-preserving-seo-rankings-from-your-old-website-301-redirects.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Have you given us access to your domain?

The easiest way is to give us access at your registrar, the company where you bought the domain. See [How to delegate access using GoDaddy](/launch/nameservers-and-access/articles-1505033-how-to-delegate-access-using-godaddy.md) or [How to delegate access for Squarespace (Invite a contributor)](/launch/nameservers-and-access/how-to-delegate-acess-for-squaresapce-invite-contributor.md). For other registrars, we'll send you instructions when we start.

If you'd rather change the nameservers yourself, wait until we confirm everything is ready on our side, use only the nameservers we send you for your domain, and reply to let us know once you've changed them. See [How to Change Your Nameservers in GoDaddy](/launch/nameservers-and-access/articles-5081746-how-to-change-nameservers-using-godaddy.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Don't use nameservers from an old email or another website's instructions. The wrong nameservers can take your website and email offline.
{% endhint %}

## Launch day

Once those are done, our launch team moves your website to your domain. This usually takes up to 48 hours, while we:

1. Point your domain to your new website. The change can show up in a few minutes or take up to 48 hours to reach everyone. See [How Long DNS Changes Take (and Why)](/launch/redirects-and-dns-management/articles-1505029-what-factors-affect-dns-propagation-time.md).
2. Reconnect the services tied to your domain, like your IDX and social logins.
3. Check everything works and confirm your launch.

For a day after launch we're still finishing a few things that only work on the live domain. That's normal.

**Wait for our launch email.** It has your website login, training and other useful links. Once you're live, we recommend setting up Google Search Console. See [How to Set Up Google Search Console](/launch/google-services/articles-1504905-01-setting-up-google-search-console.md).

## Coming from another provider?

Some providers need extra steps before we can launch:

* **kvCORE (BoldTrail):** see [Moving Your Website Away from kvCORE (BoldTrail): What You Need to Know](/faqs-and-general/common-questions/moving-your-website-away-from-kvcore-what-you-need-to-know.md).
* **Wix:** see [How to Use a Wix Domain With Your AgentFire Website](/faqs-and-general/common-questions/i-have-wix-hosting-and-want-to-have-website-with-agentfire.md).
* **Cloudflare:** if your current website uses Cloudflare, your old provider has to remove your domain from it before we can launch. That depends on them, so it can add time. If your domain is registered with Cloudflare, see [Can I Use My Own Cloudflare Account With My AgentFire Website?](/faqs-and-general/common-questions/can-i-use-cloudflare-as-domain-registrar-and-the-agentfire-website.md).

## Why your nameservers point to AgentFire

**Speed.** Your website runs on our global network (Cloudflare), which serves it quickly from servers close to each visitor.

**Fewer mistakes.** Your domain's DNS settings are easy to get wrong, and one wrong record can take your website or email down. With your nameservers pointing to us, our team manages those settings for you. To add or change a record, like for a new email provider, just email us.

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>Can you launch my website today?</summary>

Your project contact will let you know when your website is ready. Once it is and we have access to your domain, launch usually takes up to 48 hours.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I have more than one domain. Can they all go to my website?</summary>

Your website uses one main domain. You can forward your other domains to it. See [How to Forward Extra Domains to Your Website](/launch/i-have-more-domains-i-want-to-forward-to-agentfire-website-is-it-possible.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>I have subdomains, like mail.yourname.com. What happens to them?</summary>

Tell us about them before launch and where they should point, so we can keep them working. We don't set up separate agent websites on subdomains. For team members, see [Team Link Breakdown and Next Steps for Admins](/add-ons/team-link/teamlink-overview-and-next-steps-for-admins.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>My email stopped working after launch.</summary>

Email <support@agentfire.com> right away, from another email address if yours isn't working, with your email provider's name. If you have the records your provider gave you, include them.
