Publishing Your Sitejet Website

Before Publishing:

1. Preview your site using the Preview button in Sitejet
2. Test on multiple devices (desktop, tablet, mobile)

What Happens During Publishing:

• Website files are generated from your Sitejet design
• Files are transferred to your Plesk hosting
• Document root contents are replaced with Sitejet files
• Your site goes live at the configured domain

IMPORTANT: Publishing will replace ALL existing files in your document root. Always backup first!

SSL/HTTPS Configuration

Enabling SSL for Sitejet Sites:

Step 1: Install SSL Certificate

1. Go to Websites & Domains → Your domain
2. Click SSL/TLS Certificates
3. Use Lets Encrypt for a free certificate
4. Follow the prompts to issue the certificate

Step 2: Enable HTTPS Redirect

1. In domain settings, enable Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
2. This ensures all visitors use a secure connection

Step 3: Verify

• Ensure your site loads via https://yourdomain.com
• Check for any mixed content warnings in browser console

Lets Encrypt Auto-Renewal

Lets Encrypt certificates auto-renew through Plesk. No manual action is required once installed.
