title: Creating a new website using the New site wizard

> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

The following pages assume that you have previously installed the sample Corporate Site (running on the _localhost_ domain). Leave the existing website and add a new site running under the _127.0.0.1_ domain.

> **Note:** **Multiple sites and Visual Studio's built-in web server**
>
> If you are using the built-in web server in Visual Studio instead of IIS, you need to **Stop** () the **Corporate Site** site in the **Sites** application. The built-in web server doesn't support any domain other than localhost, so you need to use the **_localhost_ domain** again for the new site. 

1. Log in to the Kentico administration interface as _**administrator**_ and open the **Sites** application.2. Click **New site wizard**.

The New site wizard opens.

3. Select **Create a new site using a wizard** and click **Next**.

4. Enter the following details for the website:

- **Site display name**: My website
- **Site code name**: mysite
- **Domain name**: 127.0.0.1 (if you are using Visual Studio built-in web server, set the Domain name value to _localhost)_
- **Site culture**: English - United States (the default culture determines how the website displays date, time and numeric values based on the different culture-specific format)

Click **Next**.

5. The third step of the wizard allows you to select which objects the system imports into the new site. **Do not change anything** and click **Next**.

The fourth step displays the progress of the object import.

6. Choose a master page template for the website. You can change it later at any time. For now, select the **Blank master page**.

Click **Next**. This concludes the initial process of creating the website.

7. Click **Edit** **your new website**.

The system opens a new tab with the Kentico administration interface using the 127.0.0.1 domain. You need to sign in again (user name **administrator,** blank password) since authentication is not shared over different domains by default.
