# Static sites and GitLab Pages domains # Static sites and GitLab Pages domains
This document is the beginning of a comprehensive guide, made for those who want to On this docucument, learn how to name your project for GitLab Pages

the entire process involved.
This [first document](#what-you-need-to-know-before-getting-started) of this series will present you to the concepts of
static sites, and go over how the default Pages domains work.
The [second document](getting_started_part_two.md) covers how to get started with GitLab Pages: deploy
a website from a forked project or create a new one from scratch.
The [third document](getting_started_part_three.md) will show you how to set up a custom domain or subdomain
to your site already deployed.
The [fourth document](getting_started_part_four.md) will show you how to create and tweak GitLab CI for
GitLab Pages.
To **enable** GitLab Pages for GitLab CE (Community Edition)
and GitLab EE (Enterprise Edition), please read the
[admin documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/administration/pages/index.html),
and/or watch this [video tutorial](https://youtu.be/dD8c7WNcc6s).
>**Note:**
For this guide, we assume you already have GitLab Pages
server up and running for your GitLab instance.
## What you need to know before getting started

Learn more about [namespaces](../../group/index.md#namespaces). If you set up a GitLab Pages project on GitLab,
it will automatically be accessible under a
subdomain of `namespace.example.io`.
The [`namespace`](../../group/index.md#namespaces)
is defined by your username on GitLab.com,
or the group name you created this project under.
For GitLab self-managed instances, replace `example.io`
with your instance's Pages domain. For GitLab.com,
Pages domains are `*.gitlab.io`.
| Type of GitLab Pages | The name of the project created in GitLab | Website URL |
| -------------------- | ------------ | ----------- |
| User pages | `username.example.io` | `http(s)://username.example.io` |
| Group pages | `groupname.example.io` | `http(s)://groupname.example.io` |
| Project pages owned by a user | `projectname` | `http(s)://username.example.io/projectname` |
| Project pages owned by a group | `projectname` | `http(s)://groupname.example.io/projectname`|
| Project pages owned by a subgroup | `subgroup/projectname` | `http(s)://groupname.example.io/subgroup/projectname`|
CAUTION: **Warning:**
There are some known [limitations](introduction.md#limitations)
regarding namespaces served under the general domain name and HTTPS.
Make sure to read that section.
### Practical examples To understand Pages domains clearly, read the examples below.
