Sitejet Builder

Overview

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.

Sitejet Website Builder (CMS) allows you to personalize the appearance of your website with a drag-drop editor or start from scratch and build your website from the ground up. Every template is fully customizable.

Create a new Sitejet website

To create a new Sitejet website, perform the following steps:

1. Click Create a New Website. The Sitejet Domains interface will appear.
2. Enter a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the Domain text box.
   • To create a new domain, enter the new domain name. For example, example.com.
   • To create a subdomain, enter a new name followed by a period (.) and then the website’s domain. For example, enter subdomain.example.com to create a subdomain of example.com.
3. Click Submit. The system will redirect you to the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS) website.
4. Choose a template and personalize your website in the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS).
5. When you are satisfied with your website, click Publish (). The system will redirect you to the Sitejet Builder interface and 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 Create a restore point. A restore point saves your website’s information so that you can recover it in the future. If you choose not to create a restore point, you will not be able to recover your non-Sitejet website.
   • If the publication process causes 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.

Sitejet Website table

The Sitejet Builder interface lists all the domains associated with your account. For each domain, you can take actions to edit your website, preview your website, or build a new website using the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS).

Website Name

The column under Website Name lists all domains associated with your account. Click Website Name to sort the list alphabetically by account name.

Actions

Each domain the column lists has one or more actions available for you to manage the website for the domain. The actions will be different depending on if you made the website with Sitejet.

Sitejet files

Sitejet stores a list of the files that it manages in the $home/.cpanel/sitejet/$domain-files file. In this file path, $home is your cPanel account’s home directory, and $domain is the domain of your website.

The files that Sitejet manages may change when you update your site. You cannot manually edit these files.

Important:

Sitejet will not delete custom files that you create in your website’s document root directory or its subdirectories. However, we do not recommend that you put custom files in these directories, as the custom files may conflict with the Sitejet files.

Why can’t I build a Sitejet website?

You may see a domain listed in the Sitejet Builder interface that does not allow the creation of a website with Sitejet. The following issues may be impacting your ability to create a website with Sitejet:

Shared document root

You cannot use a shared document root directory with Sitejet. To resolve this issue, perform one of the following actions:

• Use the Main domain.
• Create a new domain.
• Delete the second dependent domain.

You can now create a Sitejet website for that domain.

For more information on domains, read our Domains interface (cPanel » Home » Domains » Domains) documentation.

Redirected website

A redirect allows you to make one domain redirect to another domain, either for a website or a specific web page. For example, your can create a redirect so that www.example.com automatically redirects users to www.example.net. You cannot use a redirected website with Sitejet.

To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Redirects interface (cPanel » Home » Domains » Redirects).
2. Navigate to Current Redirects. Locate the desired redirected domain and click Delete. A confirmation box will appear.
3. Click Remove Redirect. A success message will appear.

You can now create a Sitejet website for that domain.

Domain limit reached

If your account has reached the maximum number of domains you can create, you will not be able to build a new website. Contact your hosting provider to upgrade your account.

Move a Sitejet website

You can move a website you created with Sitejet to another domain. To move the files from a Sitejet website domain’s document root to another domain’s document root, you must first copy your Sitejet-provided sharing code.

Copy your Sitejet-provided sharing code

Important:

The Sitejet-provided sharing code is a unique 15-digit key you can obtain in the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS). It resembles the following: 263e457a-407129.

To get your Sitejet-provided code, perform the following steps:

1. In cPanel’s Sitejet Builder interface (cPanel » Home » Domains » Sitejet Builder), locate the domain you would like to move and click Edit Site. The system will redirect you to the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS) website.
