When you publish a site in Site.com, you make its pages and assets live on the Internet so site visitors can access them.

Before you publish your site for the first time, you must [set the site's domain information](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_domains_map.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Before you can publish your site to the Internet, you must set the site's domain information.").
