SiteStudio Site Builder
Before you pay a fortune to a web design studio or waste hours
making a nice-looking web site in FrontPage, consider our online
site builder that will create you a professional website in a
matter of minutes and post it to your directory on the server.

Then follow the on-screen instructions.
Search Engine Submit
This utility registers your website with major search engines on the web.
Since the time it was created, most search engines have switched to commercial
registration services, and will not accept requests submitted by this
automatic registration tool. For better effects, consider
a commercial solution for website promotion.
To start the Search Engine Submit utility, select the
Submit URL link in the Domain Settings menu.
On the page that appears, check the engines to register the site with and fill in the following fields:
- Domain to submit: select the site you would like to
be indexed.
- Key Words: some search engines provide the possibility for
entering additional keywords your site can be searched by.
- Description: this text will show to Internet users
as a description of your site in the list of search results.
- Time-out: this is the time you allow for registering
one site with all search engines. If this period is too short,
the site will get registered with only a few search engines.
Next, click Submit. Be patient while the server processes
your request.
Warning: Avoid submitting a large number of web sites
at a time, or the browser will time out before the program has finished.
You may have to wait a week or more before some search engines
start showing the sites in search results.
WebShell File Manager and htProtect

well as preview them in the browser.
