Go to the **Web > Sites > Add a site** menu.

> [!TIP]
> If you are starting from scratch you can take advantage of our [application library](/en/docs/development/marketplace) by going to **Web > Sites > Install an application**.


## Addresses
Adding all the addresses in this menu is **mandatory** to access them as sites:
- for example, to access a website on *www\.example.org* and *example.org* both addresses must be added,
- entering your domain in the **Domains** menu is not enough either. Even for a domain using our [DNS servers](/en/docs/domains/dns-management).

Also, if the domain does not use our DNS servers, you will need to [create DNS records](/en/docs/web-hosting/sites/use-external-addresses) with the DNS provider.

> [!NOTE]
> Adding the site will not create the *root directory*, it has to be created by [remote access](/en/docs/web-hosting/remote-access).


To create a catch-all, indicate `*.example.org`.

## Configuration
Specific to every type of site:

HTTP logs are available from directory `/home/[account]/admin/logs/http/`. The *site* logs showing "upstream" web site starts, stops and malfunctions are available from `/home/[account]/admin/logs/sites/`. An extract of these logs (with Apache & uWSGI logs) is presented in the administration’s interface (**Logs** - 📄).
