Server Side Includes
What precisely are Server Side Includes? How can you increase your rankings using SSI?
Server Side Includes (SSI) really is a range of directives that will allow you to contain the content of a text file inside an HTML file. By doing this, you are able to add some content to a few different web pages on your website and alter it by just updating an individual text file. You can also incorporate the output of different scripts so the present date and time, the IP address of the website visitor or the attributes of some file show on your site. This will enable you to incorporate some dynamic content to static pages, making the website more appealing to your website visitors and giving it a far more professional appearance. It will be simpler to revise this content compared to updating each static page one at a time. If you want to use Server Side Includes in your site, the web pages that incorporate the content of any kind of file need to be with extension .shtml.

Server Side Includes in Hosting
You will be able to use Server Side Includes with all
hosting plans that we offer and enable it independently for each domain name or subdomain in your hosting account. You can do this by utilizing an .htaccess file, which needs to be positiioned in the folder where you want to use SSI and you need to put a couple of lines of code in that file. You will find the code inside our Knowledgebase section, so you're able to just copy and paste it, as you don't need any programming expertise to take advantage of all characteristics that our services come with. If you have currently built your site and you want to use Server Side Includes later, you have to ensure that you rename the files from .html to .shtml and correct the links on the website, otherwise SSI won't work.
