Frequently Asked Questions

Hosting

Of course, you can – but you don’t have to! Sitejet comes with built-in lightning fast hosting  and 1 hosted website is already included in each plan (see our pricing here). Sitejet hosting including e-mail, SSL encryption, CDN & DDoS protection can be enabled with just a click. Every website you create can be published on any domain that can be either registered via Sitejet or connected externally. The Team and Agency plans offer you the flexibility to export websites. Read how to publish a website.

Plesk partners can choose to host their sites on their own data center via Hosting Node on Plesk. To become a plesk partner click here.

Any paid plan includes 1 published website. Additional websites in your account can be published at attractive rates that include e-mail, SSL encryption, CDN & DDoS protection. For details, please refer to the hosting section of our pricing page.

The Team and Agency plans allow you to export the websites you created and to upload them on any other web server. You can download a ZIP file containing all images, files, CSS, HTML and JavaScript.

Please note that you will not be able to use all functionality of Sitejet when hosting externally, such as:

  • Your customers won't be able to publish changes to the website via the customer portal
  • You need to take care of e-mail hosting yourself
  • You have to secure the website yourself (SSL)
  • Websites will be exported without any dynamic features like CMS or native form functionality

If you decide to host with us, your websites are hosted on our powerful GDPR-compliant server infrastructure (powered by Hetzner) that provides speed, stability, reliability and security against DDoS attacks. There is no limit to storage or bandwidth.  

With Sitejet you don’t need FTP access. Using the powerful Sitejet CMS you edit all websites directly in your browser. Additional files can be uploaded and managed (even in bulk) with an integrated file manager. The Team and Agency plans offer you the flexibility to export websites.

Just mark the checkbox “SSL” on any domain to automatically obtain and install an SSL certificate, so the website will be served through a secure HTTPS connection. For more information read how to publish a website and manage domains.

Each project follows a creation process represented by different website statuses and is assigned to one project owner at a time. In the detail view of a website project, you will be guided through the process in the upper right area with the help of adapting buttons. Tasks can be assigned and coordinated across team members. Every project has its own protocol with the heading “Messages” that allows you to keep track of internal and customer communication (inbound and outbound). Time spent working is tracked by status allowing you to bill your customer or discover improvement potential.

GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy of EU citizens. The regulation came into force on May 25th, 2018 and affects any entity that processes personal data of EU citizens.

To support website providers and website owners with GDPR related actions, Sitejet automatically generates a privacy policy when using the website generator. This privacy policy is a default agreement that should, in addition, be adapted to the specific needs and integrations of your customers in order to provide complete information on the processing of personal data through the website. You also find a cookie policy bar in our preset selection.

Important: The GDPR is a complex regulation that requires multiple actions from website owners. As mentioned in our Terms of Service, it is your responsibility to ensure that your services are permitted by and in compliance with your local laws. Please note that any information provided by Sitejet is no legal advice. It is your or your customers’ responsibility to fully comply with the GDPR regulation.

Account & Billing

Yes! There is a 14 day trial period with Sitejet. You will be able to test all functions of the Team plan except for the export feature. After expiration of the trial, your account will be downgraded to the Solo plan. You will be required to select a paid plan before publishing or exporting a website.

When hosting with Sitejet, you only pay for the number of websites that are published via Sitejet at the billing date. This means that the payment is not tied to specific websites but to the overall number of published websites.

If you decided to pay monthly, your monthly charge will vary depending on the number of actually published websites.
If you decided to pay anually and already paid for a specific contingent, you can see this as credit on your user account which you can consume on other websites.

This allows for maximum flexibility for Sitejet users.

Security
