I have a Public SharePoint Online site?

Yes. Yes you do. Well, if you have Office 365 and it is part of the license which you purchased. You didn’t have to do anything, you have a public facing (anyone on the internet can hit it just like a normal website) website.

Where is it?

It’s easy to find. Go into the SharePoint Online Admin Center

Select the first link on the left side navigation (the default) site collections

And in the listing on the right side of the page, it will be listed first under Public Website

image

The default URL will be http://yourtenantname-public.sharepoint.com.

And if you go there…You’ll see a nice SharePointy and Cloudy site…

Oh Cool! Now I can create a website like Ferrari in Office 365/SharePoint Online????

No. As of yet, SharePoint Online in Office 365 does not contain all of the super awesome Web Content Management and publishing controls that SharePoint 20XX on-premises does.

Oh…

Yep.

Ok, the public website is enough for my needs, can I create more than one?

No. Once you have one created, you cannot create another one. It will appear greyed out when attempting to create a new site collection.

Oh…

Yep.

  1. They certainly are playful and dextrous, tending to appropriate
    and play with small objects for hours on end — not to mention titter and squee at their owners and each other incessantly.

    Having the ability to regenerate their tails, legs, eyes, hearts if they are damaged is unique to species such
    as geckos and newts. Most ferrets are easily trained to use a litter box and it helps if it is kept in the same place in their cage or
    in the corners of your “ferret room”.
