In this guide, you will learn how to create a simple website from cPanel, specifically using the Site Publisher tool. With this tool, you will be able to have your web project visible in just a few minutes.
What is the objective of creating a simple website with cPanel?
Not all users want a large and complex website on the Internet. But many would accept a compact website with simple information to be visible to their potential customers online.
In general, self-employed or freelancers would be more interested in this idea. It is a way to have an online presence and have professional email accounts with their own domain name. A basic website would serve as a digital business card, without the need to create a blog or website with a strong online presence.
It is a branding issue that helps strengthen the authority of a professional brand through a website.
The above image could be a small contradiction of a professional image. But this could be improved if visitors could see this other image of your web project when they find it on Google.
Nowadays, having a website is an important way to attract clients or visitors to a business. Just think that if a former client wants to contact you, they can simply find you by typing the web domain name in the Google search engine.
What is the cPanel Site Publisher?
It is a cPanel tool that few users use, and others because they do not know it. cPanel Site Publisher offers the opportunity to have a business card, or even a basic website that will provide visibility on the Internet in just three steps. This alternative is very useful for a small or medium-sized company.
When is the Site Publisher used?
Since it is a fairly simple tool, there are situations where using cPanel Site Publisher would not be the best option. This would be the creation of a website that will become a reference for positioning in Google. In this case, it is advisable to build the website with a much more powerful tool such as the WordPress CMS.
In these cases, cPanel Site Publisher can be very useful:
If you have email on your own domain and do not need a website on the server.
If you only need a business card to inform potential clients about current information and our own professional skills.
Only to be visible on the Internet or to be visible when someone searches for you or wants to find your business.
If any of the above cases meet these requirements, cPanel Site Publisher is the best alternative.
How to find the Site Publisher?
To find the Site Publisher, you need to access the cPanel control panel and go to the "Domains" section, where you will find the "Site Publisher".
This tool is already installed by default. This means that no activation or installation is necessary, so it is available in the options in Domains in cPanel. Some options may be disabled by default by the hosting provider. However, if you cannot find the website editor, you can contact the technical support department of SERED.NET for assistance.
How to create a simple website with cPanel?
As mentioned at the beginning, the cPanel Site Publisher offers the opportunity to obtain a simple business card or website in just three steps. Below, you will see the three steps you must follow in this tool:
Choose a domain
It is very likely that your account is associated with multiple domains. Or even that you have subdomains defined apart from the main domain. In any case, you must choose the domain where you want to host or install your website.
Select a template
Subsequently, you have to choose one of the many template models offered by the cPanel application. It will depend a lot on the design idea you have in mind for the creation of the personal business card, corporate website, or for companies. However, you don't have many options, but it has a wide variety of themes to choose from.
In the image above, we can see that there are designs that can work as business cards depending on how they are used. They can be an introduction to professionals, depending on their activities, and for companies. We also find the options Countdown and Coming soon. Here you can choose the model that best suits your taste or category.
Customization and publication
In this final step, we enter the template customization phase. There you can fill in the form fields provided in the application with your data.
The form fields differ depending on the model of each template. In addition to the data, you can change the images by replacing them with the photos you want. Similarly, you can modify the colors of the template models. When the information is completed and the desired changes are made, you can save by clicking on "Publish".
To see the result of your website, visit your web page from the browser by entering the website URL.
If you are not satisfied with what you have done, you can go back to steps one and two in cPanel Site Publisher. From there, you can improve the presentation or correct any errors.
With that, you have finished creating your own simple and professional web page in three easy steps, only using company or business information. You will find that it only took a few minutes to create your website from cPanel.
