Create a new domain
To create a domain, click Create A New Domain. The system will redirect you to the Domains interface (cPanel » Home » Domains » Domains). To build a Sitejet website for your new domain, return to the Sitejet Builder interface (cPanel » Home » Domains » Sitejet Builder).
Domains table
The Sitejet Builder interface lists all the domains associated with your account. For each domain, you can take actions to manage your website, preview your website, choose a new template for 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.
Options | Description |
---|---|
Click Details to preview your website. On the Website Details page, you can perform the following actions:

Try Sitejet
To create a website for your domain, perform the following steps:
- Click Try Sitejet for the domain. The Choose Template interface will appear.

- 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 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.
The Choose Template interface
The Choose Template interface allows you to select a template for your website.
Select a template
You can filter template options by selecting a category from the list. For instance, to create a new cooking website, click Gastronomy for food-inspired templates.
Once you have selected a filter, the preview thumbnails will update.
To choose or view a template, mouse over the preview and select one of the following options:
- Choose — Click to select the template.
- View — Click to see a preview of the template in desktop, tablet, or mobile formats.
Once you have selected a template, the system will redirect you to the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS) website. For more information on how to use the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS), read Sitejet’s Sitejet Website Builder (CMS) documentation.
Why can’t I build a Sitejet website?

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
