Web Template Editor

The Web Template Editor allows you to create placeholder web pages. These pages will appear to visitors who navigate to a site on your server that:

• Has not yet been configured by the domain owner (see the Default Website Page tab).
• Has moved (see the Account Move tab).
• Is experiencing a connection or firewall problem (see the Connection Selection tab).
• Has been suspended (see the Account Suspended tab).

Important: When configuring your template, please keep the following points in mind:

• Images used in these templates must reside in /usr/local/cpanel/img-sys/ and be linked via /img-sys/, if you have access to this directory.
• You can use the [% data.protocol %] tag as a substitute for http or https when linking to images or files outside of the img-sys directory.
