Question

How to change website templates for web hosting domains?

Answer

The proper way to modify the website templates would be the following:

  1. From OA Provider Control Panel go to Top > Services > Web Hosting > Website Templates (or Top > Service Director > Shared Hosting Manager > Website Templates in OA 5.4).

  2. Click on the Default system website template, then on the new window click Download Template

  3. The template will be downloaded as an archive, which contains a directory structure for different types of hosting, inside the directories are the website files (html, pictures etc.). The archive also contains several "readme" files across different folders, which provide additional clarifications.

  4. Modify the template, then upload it back to Top > Services > Web Hosting > Website Templates (or Top > Service Director > Shared Hosting Manager > Website Templates in OA 5.4).

  5. Associate the template with one of the OA brands.
