A sitemap is a visual or text map of an Internet site - an index of all web pages grouped in sections as they appear on the website. The sitemap is a single file and its presence may have a substantial impact on the popularity of your website, especially if you have more content. It will permit your website visitors to search the pages and find what they need quicker, that will raise the possibility for them to revisit the website or to share it with colleagues and friends. The sitemap is also required for search engines like google to index your content better, so that some pages will be in the results for particular searches, which may not happen without a sitemap even when you have the desired website content. This is especially valid in case you modify some web pages because the sitemap informs the search engines that they must crawl the site again in order to index the latest content. Having a sitemap today is a necessity rather than an optional feature for any thriving website.

SiteMap Generator in Website Hosting

Our website hosting packages feature a sitemap generator which is a part of our advanced Hepsia Control Panel. The tool uses the exact same user-friendly Hepsia interface, so you can make a sitemap for each of your domains and subdomains with a couple of mouse clicks even if you've never had a website before. There are a couple of options, which you can customize - the depth, which shows the number of levels in the Internet site the sitemap should follow links, the maximum number of links that will be included and what file types will be visible on the sitemap. For the latter option, you will be able to type or delete selected file extensions, that can be quite helpful in case you have files which are not generic for a website like php or html, but are pdf or mp3 files, for example. In this way, your custom website content will be incorporated within the sitemap in addition to the webpages.
