Complete documentation on using Sitejet Builder integrated with cPanel. Learn how to create, manage, edit, and publish your professional website.
Overview
The Sitejet Builder interface allows you to view and manage your Sitejet domains. The Sitejet Builder interface is fully integrated with the Sitejet Website Builder (Content Management System) website. You can use the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS) to create and design a website for your domain. Then, you can publish it with your cPanel account.
Sitejet Website Builder (CMS) allows you to personalize the appearance of your website with a drag-and-drop editor or start from scratch and build your website from the ground up. Every template is fully customizable.

Sitejet Website Table
The Sitejet Builder interface lists all the domains associated with your account. For each domain, you can take actions to edit your website, preview your website, or build a new website using the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS).
The column under Website Name lists all domains associated with your account. Click Website Name to sort the list alphabetically by account name.
Available Actions
Note: This option only appears if you had a previously existing website for the domain and created a restore point before publishing.
Sitejet Files
Sitejet stores a list of the files that it manages in the $home/.sitejet/domain-file file. In this file path, $home is your cPanel account's Home directory, and domain is the domain of your website.
Important
The files that Sitejet manages may change when you update your site. You cannot manually edit these files. Sitejet will not delete custom files that you create in your website's document root directory or its subdirectories. However, we do not recommend that you put any custom files in this directory except a robots.txt file.
You can add a robots.txt file to your domain's document root directory to tell search engine web crawlers and other web robots how to interact with your website.
Warning: If you start using Sitejet Builder on a domain for which you have already made a robots.txt file, Sitejet Builder will delete the file when you publish your new website. To avoid issues with search engines or other web robots, save your robots.txt file in local storage before you publish, then move the file back to your website's document root once you have published.
Why Can't I Build a Sitejet Website?
You may see a domain listed in the Sitejet Builder interface that does not allow the creation of a website with Sitejet. The following issues may be impacting your ability to create a website with Sitejet:
To resolve:
- Use the main domain
- Create a new domain
- Delete the second dependent domain
To resolve:
- Navigate to the Redirects interface in cPanel

To move the files from a Sitejet website domain's document root to another domain's document root, you must first copy your Sitejet-provided sharing code.
You can obtain it in the Sitejet Website Builder (CMS). It resembles the following: xCae4T9-4071zN
