web builder

The Website Builder is a fully featured Website-building tool designed to let anyone create professional, multi-page Websites. It features vibrant, professional designs and pre-built templates to speed your website development. It is both easy and powerful. There are plenty of pre-designed templates to choose from and it is completely free to use with your account.

Some hosting companies limit the number of pages you can publish - not us! You can create as many pages as you like and update them as often as you like.

Features

Website Builder guides you step-by-step, providing simple choices regarding colour, style and images. There is no software to buy, and no code to learn. In addition, there is no need to use programs such as FTP or Telnet.

Content and Design Separation

The content of the website is stored separately from the layout. This way, you can completely change the look and feel of your website in six clicks of the mouse, without ever having to retype any information.

Complete Control over Colour Schemes

Website Builder includes a number of built-in colour combinations that look great with any layout. But if a user wants to add a little originality to their site, all the colours can be changed, either by using a point-and-click colour picker, or, for even more control, typing in the colour as a hex number.

On-The-Fly Image Generation

Website Builder dynamically generates the images it needs for each website design, so each time you decide to change the colour combination for a page, the layout, or just a button caption, the necessary image is automatically created. You need not ever bother with complex and expensive programs such as Photoshop to create Websites with clean and professional-looking graphics: our designers have already done it for you!

Variety of Pages

Website Builder can be used to make many different pages. You can create an online CV, or build a personal photo album. Everything is done in a simple step-by-step process that is easy to learn and to follow.

One-Click Publishing

Your website is published with one easy click. But even after publishing, you can go back and change it as much as you wish. Clicking the publish button again will instantly reflect all the changes on the "live" version of your site.

Autosave

All your information is saved the moment it is entered. If you decide to log out, you can come back and continue building your website from the very point from where you left off.

Complete Control over your Website

With the use of Website Builder's provided settings, you can make unique and attractive web sites. For the advanced user, Website Builder provides a way to change buttons on the site.

Powerful and Flexible Hosting Control Panel

We have dedicated software programming resources to customize our hosting control panel to give you ultimate flexibility. We don't buy off-the-shelf control panel technology as they are restricted in functionality. View Control Panel Features.

Continual Upgrades


We have been continually upgrading our control panel software and other services since we started. When you sign up with us, it is the beginning of a business purchase that gets better all the time. We have been in business long enough to know that if we don't serve your needs, we will lose your business to someone who does. Browse our website thoroughly - does ours feel like a "shop" you are comfortable buying your "goods" from?

Small Businesses and Large Corporations alike use our services


We are inexpensive enough for the small shops, and reliable enough for the big guys. Without saying, any business whose size falls between naturally fits the bill. And more importantly, the bill fits them. Where else do you find this ultimate combination?

Reliable


All our servers and the components that make up our network are monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In the event of an unscheduled outage, be it a component failure, software crash or connectivity disruption, our monitoring system will immediately notify an engineer. At the same time our systems will attempt to fix the problem automatically, be it diverting our connectivity over a redundant circuit or restarting a failed service. This pro-active monitoring allows us not only to promise our customers up-time, but to also deliver on this promise. Reliability doesn't stop there. We understand that it is crucial to only use reliable and scaleable hardware which is why we only use the highest quality servers for all Web and e-mail serving. Our network uptime has constantly been above the industry margin with an aggregate monthly availability of 99.998%.

FREE Secure Server Use!


All Ripplenet Hosting account types can use one of our "https://www.secure-secure.co.uk/yourdomain.co.uk/" shared secure servers. You can use this for e-commerce or any other application that requires secure communications between server and browser. We use secure certificates that are completely compatible with all major web browsers. Customers can purchase their own personalised certificate if they do not wish to use our shared secure server.

Lots of Available Server Software!


We keep up with the latest upgrades and enhancements for the most popular server-based Internet software available including, Apache, PHP, Perl, mySQL, Miva Script, Miva Merchant, PGP, cgiwrap, Analog, WWW Counter, and lots more. Don't settle for out-of-date software!

Its good to have control of your website, so we also provide web hosting to speed up the web development process. That means that we can get into the back end to make sure that everything runs smoothly - and if things should go wrong, for example, you need specialist access to your database or more bandwidth, we can sort them out.

We at RIPPLENET don't want to get too complicated. So we have made our web hosting packages as straight-forward as possible.

You can set up your web site on our server yourself, and if you need support we provide access to our help desk system which is available 24 hours a day. You will also have access to our powerful web hosting server control panel with which you can control all functions of the server, including installing pre-written scripts such as form to email so you can add functionality to your web site.
