Site123 doesn’t have many hosting features like the ability to launch third-party CMS or access the database of your websites. On the other hand, it has more robust site management features that allow you to quickly build a solid website like templates, email marketing, and site statistics.
Free SSL certificate
These days, visitors expect your website to display the site lock symbol and secure their data. Installing an SSL certificate can be a challenge but Site123 provides a free SSL certificate for all customers so you can put your visitors at ease.
DNS management
After connecting your domain to Site123 or buying one from it, you’re able to manage all DNS records from its backend. Operations like pointing URLs to specific pages or redirecting multiple domains are a breeze.
eCommerce functionality
The Site123 website builder has deep eCommerce functionality that helps customers sell more online. It supports unlimited products, provides cart abandonment tools, set multiple currencies, integrates with multiple payment processors, multiple product categories, supports coupons, and so much more.
Multilingual site support
When the time comes to cater to different audiences, Site123 has built-in functionality that allows you to set up a website for specific languages. One site can support up to five languages and will automatically redirect visitors to the right version.
Reliability
When it comes to reliability, Site123 delivers. It optimizes the servers for its customers and you don’t have to fiddle with optimization techniques. Websites hosted there are designed for speed and high performance. It doesn’t have an uptime guarantee but you can be confident that your website won’t go down for extended periods without warning.
Control Panel
The platform doesn’t have the standard cPanel admin interface. Instead, it has built a custom administrative console from the ground up which allows users to edit their website and see important information at a glance. It gives you insights into how much storage and bandwidth have been used, mailing list information, form submissions, etc.
