Server Side Includes (SSI) is a common server-side scripting language, which is often used to include the content of one file inside of a second file. It's used primarily with online content and it will help make a static HTML site more dynamic. If you want to have a daily quote displayed on a few webpages within your website, as an example, you can make a text file and replace the quote in it every single day. All the webpages in which this file is included will display the updated quote, so you will not need to alter them personally every time. SSI may also be used to incorporate the output of basic functions instead of a static file - for instance, the viewer's IP address, a hit counter or even the current time and date. By doing this, you may make your internet site appear far more professional and a lot more appealing to the visitors. Pages that employ SSI get a .shtml extension.

Server Side Includes in Shared Hosting

As our custom made cloud hosting system supports Server Side Includes on a global level, you are able to make use of this function with the shared hosting packages that we offer you and incorporate dynamic content to your websites with a few clicks. SSI can be enabled for each specific domain name or subdomain by placing an .htaccess file in the site folder with only a few lines of code. Certainly, you don't need to turn into a developer for that as the necessary code may be copied from the Help article we have about Server Side Includes. If you wish to employ this feature for your website, you need to rename your site files from .html to .shtml and you have to double-check if all of the links on your website point to the current names.

Server Side Includes in Semi-dedicated Hosting

It will be possible to enable and make use of Server Side Includes with only a number of clicks with any of the semi-dedicated server packages as the feature is present in the cloud platform where your account will be set up. All you have to do would be to set up a blank file named .htaccess via your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel and then place in a couple of lines of code inside. You can find the latter inside the Help articles which can be found within your account, so you do not require any programming expertise - you can just copy the code in question. All pages that are going to implement Server Side Includes need to have a .shtml extension, so if you add this feature to an active site, you should make sure that you update all the links on it.
