# Managing websites

> Create new websites, switch between them in the dashboard, set per-site capture flags, and limit identification to specific URLs with page rules.

Each website in Squid ID is its own setup: a separate SDK, install snippet, connectors, notifications, and visitor list. You create websites, switch between them, and configure what each one captures. The first website is included; each additional one is a paid slot.

## If you're coming from RB2B

<div className="compare"><table><thead><tr><th /><th>RB2B</th><th>Squid ID</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Multiple domains</td><td>Add domains / scripts</td><td>Create websites, each with its own SDK</td></tr><tr><td>Per-site config</td><td>Shared settings</td><td>Separate connectors, notifications, and visitors per site</td></tr><tr><td>Page targeting</td><td>Limited</td><td>Inclusion or exclusion page rules</td></tr></tbody></table></div>

<p className="why"><strong>Why this matters.</strong> Settings do not leak between sites. A Slack route or filter on one website has no effect on another, so you can run different marketing sites independently from one account.</p>

## Create a website

Only an Owner can create websites.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the website switcher">
    Click the website name at the top of the dashboard, then <strong>Add website</strong>.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name it and add URLs">
    Enter a website name and every URL the site runs under. A site is usually reachable at more than one hostname, for example <code>example.com</code> and <code>[www.example.com](http://www.example.com)</code>, and you may also run subdomains like <code>app.example.com</code> or <code>docs.example.com</code>. Click <strong>Add another URL</strong> and list each hostname you want to identify visitors on. URLs are normalized to their origin.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create it, then follow the guided install">
    Click <strong>Create website</strong>. Squid ID opens a guided install step that detects your platform (Framer, WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, Google Tag Manager, and more), shows the exact steps for it with a link to the full guide, gives you the snippet to copy, and lets you click <strong>Verify install</strong> to confirm it is live before you head to the dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

See [Install the snippet](/getting-started/install-snippet) and [Verify your install](/getting-started/verify).

<Info>The first website is included in your plan. Each additional website needs a paid website slot. If you hit the limit, the dashboard prompts you to add a slot. See [Plans and domains](/billing/plans-and-domains).</Info>

<Info>On WordPress you can skip the snippet entirely and use the one-click plugin instead, which installs and connects the site for you. See [WordPress](/getting-started/install/wordpress).</Info>

## Edit a website

Open <strong>Settings → Website</strong> to change a site's details. Pick the site in the switcher first so the page is scoped to it.

* <strong>Website name.</strong> The friendly label shown in connectors, reports, and the switcher. Edit it and click <strong>Save</strong>.
* <strong>Website URLs.</strong> Add or remove the hostnames the snippet runs on. Click <strong>Add URL</strong> for another, or the remove icon to drop one, then <strong>Save</strong>. The install snippet itself does not change, it is keyed to the website, so you never need to re-paste it when you change URLs.

Owners and Admins can edit. Viewers can see the settings but not change them.

<Info>Changing the URL list updates where the SDK is allowed to connect. If you add a hostname, place the snippet on those pages too. If you remove one, the snippet stops connecting there.</Info>

## Delete a website

Only the Owner can delete a website. From <strong>Settings → Websites</strong> click the delete icon on the site (or open <strong>Settings → Website</strong> and click <strong>Delete website</strong>), then confirm.

<Warning>Deleting a website is permanent and cannot be undone. Squid ID stops identifying its visitors, its install snippet and any WordPress plugin connection stop working, and the site's per-site settings (filters, ICPs, page rules, and exclusions) are removed.</Warning>

<Info>Deleting a website does not change your billing. If it was a paid additional website and you no longer need the slot, lower your website count under <strong>Settings → Billing</strong>. The paid website stays active until the end of your current billing month, then drops (there's no mid-month proration). Until you lower the count, the slot stays on your plan and you can reuse it for another site.</Info>

## Domains and subdomains

The snippet only identifies visitors on the exact hostnames you list here. A few things follow from that:

* <strong>www and non-www are different hostnames.</strong> <code>example.com</code> and <code>[www.example.com](http://www.example.com)</code> are not the same to a browser, so if your site answers on both, add both.
* <strong>Subdomains are separate too.</strong> To identify visitors on <code>app.example.com</code>, <code>docs.example.com</code>, or <code>blog.example.com</code>, add each one to the list, then place the snippet on those pages.
* <strong>Pages and routes within a hostname are automatic.</strong> Once a hostname is registered, the snippet works on every path under it. To narrow which pages identify, use [page rules](#page-rules) rather than the domain list.

<Warning>Squid ID locks each website's SDK to the exact hostnames you registered, so the snippet only runs where you authorized it and cannot be lifted onto another domain. The trade-off is that a hostname has to match what you entered. A mismatch (for example you registered <code>example.com</code> but installed on <code>[www.example.com](http://www.example.com)</code>) is the most common reason a freshly installed snippet does not connect. See [Troubleshooting](/troubleshooting).</Warning>

## The website switcher

The switcher at the top of the dashboard lists your sites under <strong>My websites</strong> (sites you own) and <strong>Invited</strong> (sites shared with you). Each row shows the site name and primary URL. Selecting a site scopes the whole dashboard, settings, and visitor list to that site. At the bottom are <strong>Add website</strong> and <strong>Manage websites</strong>, which opens the Websites page below.

## Manage your websites

<strong>Settings → Websites</strong> (also reachable from <strong>Manage websites</strong> in the switcher) lists every website on your account in one place, each with a live status: <strong>Active · receiving traffic</strong>, <strong>Active · awaiting first visit</strong>, or <strong>Paused</strong>. From here you can:

* <strong>Pause or resume a website.</strong> The toggle turns a site's tracking off without deleting anything. While a website is paused, Squid ID stops identifying and de-anonymizing its visitors (the events feed is dropped), so it generates no matches and no charges. Flip it back on to resume. The snippet, connectors, and settings are all preserved.
* <strong>Manage</strong> opens that website's settings.
* <strong>Delete</strong> removes the website (owner only); see below.
* <strong>Add website</strong> creates another site with the same flow as the switcher, then takes you to the guided install step.

<Info>Pausing is the clean way to stop a site temporarily (a seasonal campaign, a staging site) without losing its configuration or re-installing the snippet later. Deleting is permanent.</Info>

## Capture flags

Capture flags control which signals the SDK records for a site. They live under <strong>Settings → Add-ons</strong> (capture controls) and on the website settings. Defaults match a standard install, including handshake, performance, clicks, form submits, scroll, disconnect, and visitor ID. Some signals such as network and behavioral are off by default. Owners and Admins can change these; Viewers cannot.

## Page rules

By default Squid ID identifies visitors on every page. To narrow that, set a page inclusion or exclusion list under <strong>Settings → Restrictions</strong>. See [Restrictions](/finding-visitors/restrictions#page-rules) for the full detail.

## Skipping and hiding visitors

Two separate controls decide who reaches your dashboard and your bill:

* To <strong>stop identifying and paying</strong> for a segment (consumer B2C visitors, bots, or specific pages), use [Restrictions](/finding-visitors/restrictions).
* To <strong>hide</strong> visitors from your dashboard without changing billing (your own team, specific domains), use [Filters](/finding-visitors/filters).
