Sites > Create a new site

Note: Unlike MAMP, the free version, MAMP PRO allows you to create many sites (hosts). It is recommended to create a separate site for each website you create when using MAMP PRO. Do not create multiple document roots under the localhost document root folder.

To create a new site, press the “+” button in the lower left corner of the Sites table.

MAMP PRO - Sites - Create a new site

The first time you click on the “+” button, you will see a message telling you that the SSL environment must be set up first. Confirm this dialog box by clicking the “OK” button. You may then need to enter your macOS account password.

MAMP PRO - The SSL environment needs to be set-up before you can create a new site.
