# Publishing
When you are ready to publish, open Project Settings and select **Publishing** in the sidebar to create a publishing destination.
Elements can publish to the following locations and services:
* Local (to your Mac)
* FTP
* SFTP / FTPS
* Amazon S3
Publishing your site is an exciting moment: you’ll be able to enter a website address into Safari and see the fruits of your work.
You may need to adjust a few options before publishing because hosting providers use different server configurations.
Your hosting provider supplies the connection details entered into Elements; Realmac Software does not have access to them. These details may differ from the credentials used to access your hosting control panel. If you are unsure what to enter, contact your hosting provider.
We also run a dedicated hosting service built specifically for Elements websites. No unnecessary complexity. Just fast, reliable hosting that works flawlessly and gets out of your way. [Learn more about Element Hosting](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/hosting).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/using-elements/project-and-publishing/publishing.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
