A sitemap is a visual or text map of an Internet site - a short list of all pages arranged in sections as they appear on the website. The sitemap is a single file and its presence may have a substantial influence on the popularity of your site, especially if you have more content. It will allow your visitors to browse the pages and find what they need much more quickly, which will increase the possibility for them to revisit the site or to show it to friends and colleagues. The sitemap is also needed for search engines to index your content better, which means that some pages will appear in the results for particular searches, which may not happen without a sitemap even when you have the necessary content. This is especially valid in case you modify some pages since the sitemap informs the search engines that they need to crawl the website again in order to index the new content. Having a sitemap these days is a necessity rather than an optional feature for every thriving Internet site.
SiteMap Generator in Shared Hosting
If you would like to have a sitemap, but you don't have much experience with Internet sites in general, you will be able to take advantage of the sitemap generator that we provide with our shared hosting plans. As part of the Hepsia Control Panel, the software tool shares the same basic and easy-to-use user interface, so it will take you a couple of clicks to make a comprehensive sitemap that will be search engine friendly. The generator permits you to select the highest number of links the sitemap has to include and how many levels down the pages these links have to go. You can also select what type of file extensions to be included, so if you offer specific content for example music, e-books or some documents, you could type their extensions before you make the sitemap and our software tool will include them along with the standard web pages.
SiteMap Generator in Dedicated Hosting
All our dedicated servers which come with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel include an integrated sitemap generator. The software tool is really simple to use and the sitemap file it generates is in the XML format which is search engine friendly, so your website content will be picked up very quickly by search engines. The interface will allow you to pick the total number of links that the tool should follow through your Internet site and also how many levels down the webpages these links have to be followed. As a further option, you can also choose what file extensions should be included or left out by the generator, so you will be able to control what content will be available on the sitemap. This function will enable you to emphasize on certain website content that you would like your visitors to discover easily as an alternative to discovering a large number of ordinary web pages.
