Sitejet Builder is a website builder from cPanel, L.L.C. that is built right into cPanel. It lets you create a modern, mobile-friendly website from a template and publish it to any domain in your account. It suits small businesses, freelancers and anyone who wants a professional site without managing WordPress.
Before you start
- A cPanel hosting account with MdmHost. Open cPanel from MdmHost dashboard → Services → Login to cPanel.
- A domain in that account that points to MdmHost, so the site and its free SSL certificate work.
- Your logo, photos and texts for the main pages. Having them ready makes the first version quick.
Open Sitejet Builder
- In cPanel type Sitejet in the search box at the top, or find Sitejet Builder in the tool list.
- Click it. The first time, Sitejet shows a short introduction and asks which domain you want to build a site for.
- Choose the domain. Each domain in your account can have its own Sitejet website.
Pick a template
- Browse the template gallery. Use the categories or the search to find designs for your type of business.
- Preview a template on desktop and mobile.
- Choose it. Sitejet creates a site with the template's pages and sample content, ready for you to edit.
Understand the editor
| Area | What it does |
|---|---|
| Page canvas | Click text, images and buttons to edit them in place |
| Add element / section | Insert new blocks such as text, images, galleries, forms and maps |
| Pages | Create, rename, reorder and delete pages and manage the menu |
| Design settings | Global colours, fonts and button styles |
| Device preview | Check the layout on desktop, tablet and phone |
| Publish | Make your changes live on the domain |
Make the site yours
- Replace the template logo with your own in the header.
- Set your brand colours and fonts in the design settings so every page updates at once.
- Rewrite the home page headline and introduction in your own words.
- Swap sample images for your photos, adding alt text to each.
- Update contact details, opening hours and the footer.
- Delete template pages you do not need.
Publish your website
Click Publish and confirm the domain. Sitejet places the website files in the domain's document root. Open your domain in a private window to check the live site. After every later change, publish again.
Warning: Publishing a Sitejet site to a domain replaces what visitors see there. If the domain already hosts WordPress or another site, back it up first with cPanel → JetBackup or File Manager, or build on a subdomain instead.
Frequently asked questions
Sitejet or WordPress?
Choose Sitejet for a brochure site you want to set up quickly and maintain with little effort. Choose WordPress if you need a large blog, a shop with many products or specific plugins.
Sitejet or SitePad?
Both are drag-and-drop builders that publish to your cPanel account. Try both on a test subdomain and keep the one whose editor you prefer.
Troubleshooting
- Sitejet Builder not listed: search for it; if it is missing, contact support to check your plan.
- The domain still shows the old site: clear your browser cache and check that DNS points to MdmHost.
- No padlock: run AutoSSL in cPanel → Security → SSL/TLS Status.
