Managing Hosts

Host is a server used for site publication. Your first host management operation is adding a new host to the list of hosts available for publishing SiteBuilder sites. The procedures of hosts management are described in the current chapter.

SiteBuilder supports three types of publication:

• FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The type of publication when the site files are stored on an FTP server.
• XCOPY. The type of publication when the site files are stored on a local computer.
• VPS (Virtual Private Server). The type of publication when the site files are stored on a virtual private server.

Every host used for site publication must meet the following software requirements:

• ASP.NET v.2.0.50727 or later
• ASPNet (for Windows 2000) or Network Service

Also, you must have the right to copy to the /bin folder on the server.

You can do the following operations on hosts:

• Create hosts
• Update host properties
• Remove hosts
