## Enabling Integration with Sitebuilder (Linux Hosting)

Sitebuilder is a Web site creation and content management system developed by Parallels. It has proven to be highly popular with site administrators because it enables users without any technical skills and knowledge of markup languages to create professionally looking Web sites.

To allow your Web hosting customers to create and publish their sites using Sitebuilder, do the following:

1. Install Sitebuilder on the same server where Parallels Plesk Panel is installed, if you did not install it during installation of Parallels Plesk Panel software. This version of Parallels Plesk Panel supports only connections to locally installed Sitebuilder systems.
2. Install a license key for Sitebuilder. Log in to Sitebuilder at URL http://your server's ip address or hostname/Admin, go to Home > License Management (in the Help & Support group) > Upload License Key. Select the license key file in XML or ZIP format and click OK.
3. Log in to Parallels Plesk Panel, go to Home > Sitebuilder Settings (in the Applications & Services group).
4. Specify the server administrator's username and password that you specified in Sitebuilder during installation. They will be used by Parallels Plesk Panel for authorization in the Sitebuilder system.
5. Click OK.

Now Parallels Plesk Panel is connected to Sitebuilder, and the Sitebuilder section appears in Parallels Plesk Panel's navigation pane providing the following shortcuts to the Sitebuilder administration panel:

- Desktop. This provides shortcuts to the task-oriented wizards. Here you can perform any operations on your Sitebuilder system. For more information, see http://download1.parallels.com/SiteBuilder/4.5.0/doc/admin/en_US/html/using_desktop_interface.htm.

All customers who were given access to site creation and management services will be able to create and update their sites by following the Sitebuilder Wizard shortcut which will appear in the domain management screens of their Parallels Plesk Panels (domain name > Sitebuilder Wizard). Also, in users' control panels, the following shortcuts will appear in the navigation pane to allow them to manage their own accounts and sites through Sitebuilder: Desktop, Users, Sites, Server (client's control panel); Desktop and Sites (domain administrator's control panel).
