Publishing and domains
How to publish, what a site type is, how to use your own domain, what happens near a site's limits, and what the Built with Mousepad badge means.
How do I publish?
Choose Publish at the top right of the studio. Mousepad runs a security check, builds your site, and puts it online, usually in a minute or two.
What is a site type?
Each published site that saves information is Basic, Standard, or Enterprise. Basic falls asleep when nobody is visiting and wakes on the next visit; Standard and Enterprise are always on and have higher limits.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Plus and Pro. Choose Connect a domain in the Publish dialog or in Settings → Domains, then add the two records Mousepad shows where you bought the domain. On Free, your site keeps its free address.
Do I have to buy my domain from Mousepad?
No. Use a domain you already own from GoDaddy, Squarespace, Namecheap, or any other seller. If you don't have one yet, buy it there first.
What happens when my site gets close to its limits?
Mousepad lets you know at 80%. At 100%, new saves and uploads pause until you free up space or move up a site type. Your data is never deleted.
What is the “Built with Mousepad” badge?
A small link in the corner of sites on Free. Plus and Pro can hide it on every site.
Email support@mousepad.app for anything else. Plus includes email support and Pro includes priority email support. The guides walk through publishing, domains, bookings and payments step by step.
