Builder brands: Embedding external sites as a section

Being able to embed an external webpage within your site is a great way to seamlessly integrate 3rd party tools into your website, such as reservations, food, and event registration.

  1. First, you will want to copy a secure URL of a compatible site that starts with HTTPS. Some websites will not have a security certificate or SSL, or will be restricted from being embedded within other websites. Please see the sample URL below.
    • This is a secure URL:

      Secured URL
       
    • This is not a secure URL:

      Not a Secured URL
       
  2. Log in to your account manager via https://www.networksolutions.com/my-account/login.
  3. Select Websites on the left menu, and you will be routed to a different tab where you can access your website editor.
