Overview

This document explains how to quickly build a website.

Create a website with Sitejet Builder

The  Sitejet Builder  interface allows you to view and manage your Sitejet domains. The Sitejet Builder interface is fully integrated with the  Sitejet Website Builder (Content Management System)  website. You can use the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS) to create and design a website for your domain. Then, you can publish it with your cPanel account.
To create a website for your domain, perform the following steps:
    .1Navigate to the  Sitejet Builder  interface (cPanel » Home » Domains » Sitejet Builder). The Sitejet Builder interface will appear.
    .2Click Build with Sitejet for the domain. The  Choose Template  interface will appear.
    .3Once you have chosen a template and personalized your website in the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS), click Publish (
    .4) . The system will redirect you to the Sitejet Builder interface and will publish your design to the domain’s document root directory.
  • If your domain’s  document root  already contains files, the system will prompt you to confirm publication. Publication will delete all files and directories in your domain’s document root directory.
  • If the publication process will cause your cPanel account to exceed its  disk quota , the system will prompt you to free up additional space before you can publish your Sitejet website.
For more information, read our  Sitejet Builder  interface documentation.

The  Onboarding Assistant  automatically creates a WordPress® website for the new cPanel account if the user selects the WordPress option.
