Do you offer Server Side Includes (SSI)?

SSI is an acronym for Server-Side Includes. SSI is a useful technique to tell the web server to dynamically generate the content of the page. SSIs are also used to execute a program on the server and then insert the results into the page, before sending it to the website visitor.

SSIs are most often used to split the sections of a website into templates. For example if the footer of every page is exactly the same, you could use SSI to add your footer template file to the end of every page. By implementing SSI in this way, if you ever need to modify the footer you only edit one file, and every page is therefore automatically updated.

All of our hosting packages come with the ability to use Server Side Includes as standard with no additional charge. You will have to rename your web page file extension to .shtml to run SSI commands.
