Server Side Includes (SSI) can literally save you hundreds of hours in web site maintenance by allowing you to edit a common element in your web site, effecting a change globally and avoiding having to edit each page one by one.

For example, if you have a one hundred page web site with a navigational menu that appears on each page and you decide to update that menu; it could mean having to update one hundred pages; which could take you hours. As a busy online business person, this takes you away from your core activities, or you may find you need to hire someone to do the work, both of which can negatively impact on your profitability.

However, by taking advantage of our SSI  support, by making that menu a single html "page" and then incorporating that element it into all your pages in the appropriate position, whenever you edit that menu in future, you'll only need to do it once - it will update throughout the entire site. 

It may sound a little confusing, but once you see it in action, you'll wonder why you never used Server Side Includes before. By the way, as we also support PHP, you can of course always use a PHP include function instead if you wish, or neither - the choice is yours. Using PHP, it only takes a  very simple snippet of code to "call" the common element, eg:

<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/pathto/element.php"); ?>

SSI support is only one of the many features we offer in our business website hosting packages that can save you time - and time as we know is money!

We hope to welcome you as one of our many Australian and international Domain Registration Services hosting clients today!
