Hosting, Blogs and Forums FAQs:
Do You Offer a Hosting
Facility?
XSitePro does not currently feature in-built hosting, so you are free to use any host you
want:
Literally any host you want!
XSitePro will work with them all - just sign up for your domain name and hosting
account, choosing the best deal to suit your budget, and then enter the information provided to you (by your host)
into the publishing details tab... at that's it!
From then on, you don't need to think about it - just hit the "publish button" and you're
done - pages uploaded, site updated.
This gives you maximum flexibility and control, and doesn't tie you in any way to a
particular host.

Can I Create a Forum
Using XSitePro?
XSitePro itself is not a tool for creating forums - XSitePro is for creating web sites. This
said, XSitePro sites and forums (like PHPBB's forum software - free to use) will sit
together perfectly, and many of our users operates such a solution.
You can install a forum alongside your XSitePro site and even set up links (in your XSitePro
site navigation), linking through to your forum, no problem at all.

Can I Have a Blog, With
XSitePro?
You can install a blog alongside your XSitePro web site without any problems at all.
XSitePro is not, however, a blog generation tool itself (XSitePro is for building complete web sites, not
blogs).
Blogs, like web sites, may well prove to be part of your overall content strategy
(along with, say, article submission, press-releases, video submissions, social-networking and more) and they are
not mutually exclusive to the other content types. In fact they are very complimentary.
To add any blog (such as Wordpress) simply follow the
instructions provided by the blog software publisher and install the blog into a directory in your
hosted web space other than the 'root' folder (as the root folder is where your XSitePro web
site files are kept).
For example, you wouldn't install your blog into http://www.xsitepro.com/ but you could
happily install it into http://www.xsitepro.com/blog/.
