On Wednesday, the leading hosting automation and virtualization software provider SWsoft launched the new version of its sitebuilder software.

Key new features are:

Sitebuilder 4.0 features for service providers include:

  • Promotional Footers – Add company name or other promotional material on each customer’s published website.
  • SSO Support – Gain full access to all Sitebuilder capabilities with unified credentials through the SWsoft Plesk administration console.
  • Backup/Restore – Back up and restore individual sites or an entire Sitebuilder server.
  • Custom Design Template Support – Create custom templates tailored for specific markets with the ability to create one template that can be deployed across both Linux/Unix and Windows platforms.

Sitebuilder 4.0 features for end users include:

  • File Download Module – Provide downloadable content on a website.
  • Google Maps – Add area maps and get directions.
  • Multiple Image Uploader for Image Gallery – Upload multiple images to user sites at once in the Image Gallery module.
  • One-Click Publishing – Publish a website with one click after building it using new interactive text in the five-step design wizard.

Since I am a little bit familiar with the hosting industry and hosting software ;-) I’d like to drop some comments.

The new end user features are not really brand new things or rocket science. Competitors like CM4ALL do already offer this (and in a nicer way).
A backup function is not really a feature, it’s a requirement! They shouldn’t praise that as a feature in a press release :-)

The “promotional footers” and “Custom Design Templates Support” are really nice features and I know that service providers will love that! Good move.
