Using the cPanel Site Publisher to build a website

The cPanel Site Publisher is a quick and easy tool for creating a simple, professional‑looking website. It’s ideal for personal, business, or “under construction” pages when you don’t need a full CMS like WordPress.

What You Can Do with Site Publisher

• Create a single‑page site in minutes.
• Choose from pre‑designed templates (corporate, personal, event, or placeholder).
• Customize with your own text, images, and contact details.
• Instantly publish to your domain.

Steps to Build a Site with Site Publisher

1. Log in to cPanel.

2. On the Tools page → Domains section, click Site Publisher.

3. Select a Domain:

   • Choose the domain or subdomain where you want to publish the site.
   • Use the search box if you have multiple domains.
   • Site Publisher automatically advances to the next step.

4. Choose a Template:

   • Browse available templates.
   • Click one to select it.
   • Site Publisher advances to customization.

5. Customize and Publish:

   • Fill in fields such as site title, description, contact info, and social links.
   • Upload a logo or image if the template allows.
   • When ready, click Publish.

Updating Your Site

• To update content later, simply repeat the steps above.
• Publishing again will overwrite the existing Site Publisher page with your new version.

Note

• Site Publisher is best for basic sites. For blogs, e‑commerce, or dynamic content, use a CMS like WordPress.
• Publishing with Site Publisher will replace any existing index page in the chosen domain’s root directory.
• Always back up existing site files before publishing if you already have a website.
