! Getting Started

This guide walks you through the initial setup to use PrivateStater.

Step 1: Create an Account

Go to PrivateStater Dashboard
Sign up if you don't have an account

Step 2: Create a Project

A project is a unit for managing multiple websites as a group. You can invite colleagues, employees, and teams.

Click the New Project button in the dashboard
Enter a Project ID

Project ID Rules

Only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-) are allowed
Example: my-company, personal-blog, startup2024

Step 3: Add a Website

Click the Add Website button inside the project
Enter the following information:

Field	Description	Example
Website ID	Unique identifier (must be globally unique)	`my-blog`
Host	Actual domain (excluding protocol)	`example.com` or `sub.example.com`

Website ID Rules

Only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens are allowed
IDs already registered by other users cannot be used
Cannot be changed once created (must delete and recreate)

Step 4: Install Script

Add the following code to the <head> section of your website:

<script> window.PrivateStaterConfig = { prstSite: "YOUR_SITE_ID" };</script>
<script src="https://privatestater.com/privatestater.js"></script>

Replace YOUR_SITE_ID with the Website ID created in Step 3.

Installation Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
