Server Side Includes in Shared Website Hosting
It will be possible to use Server Side Includes with all shared website hosting plans that we offer and enable it independently for every domain name or subdomain within your hosting account. This can be accomplished when using an .htaccess file, which needs to be placed in the folder where you want to use SSI and you have to put a few lines of code in that file. You can get the code within our Knowledgebase section, so you can just copy and paste it, as you do not need any programming expertise to benefit from all of the capabilities that our services contain. In case you have already built your website and you wish to use Server Side Includes afterwards, you need to ensure that you rename the files from .html to .shtml and correct the links on the website, or else SSI won't work.
Server Side Includes in Semi-dedicated Servers
It won't take you over a minute to enable Server Side Includes when you have a semi-dedicated server plan through us. When you choose to enable this feature, you must make an .htaccess file in the root folder for the domain or subdomain in which you want SSI to be enabled. In that file, you must copy and paste some code, which you can see in the FAQ article we have devoted to SSI. You will find the latter within the Help section of your Hosting Control Panel, so you do not need any prior knowledge of such matters. The only 2 things you need to take care of are renaming all webpages that will use Server Side Includes from .html to .shtml and replacing each of the links on your website, to ensure that they lead to the renamed files.
