October 4, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Parallels (http://www.parallels.com) recently announced the introduction of two new modules in the latest version of its website building application, Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder 4.5. The browser-based website creation and editing application enables service providers using Windows, Linux or Unix platforms to publish sites to a single server through a five-step wizard and 16 dynamic modules. Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder 4.5 also adds migration from existing Parallels SiteStudio sites and additional operating system platform support.
The next-generation software introduces two new modules: Sitemap and External Page. Through the Sitemap and External Page modules, service providers will see a dramatic increase in the flexibility of Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder 4.5. While Sitemap aids in the ease of navigation within a site by allowing owners to display a clickable, hierarchical model of their site structure to visitors, the External Page module allows site owners to link menu items to external websites.
Users can now migrate all websites and user date into Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder from Parallels SiteStudio, giving current SiteStudio customers access to a more powerful wizard and over 500 quality templates.
Additionally, in order to provide all customers with the easiest way to build a website, new supported platforms include: Windows Server 2008, Fedora 8, Ubuntu 8.04, and SuSE 10.3.
“This application enables our service providers to take website creation and management to a new level with innovative features that improve ease of use," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels. "By adding Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder 4.5 to their existing service offerings, service providers have the ability to provide a more powerful, flexible and easier to use solution.
