❌ Important Limitations of Site Publisher
While Site Publisher is great for quick launches, it's not meant to replace a full-fledged website builder or CMS. Here are some things it cannot do:
| Feature | Available in Site Publisher? |
|---|---|
| Custom HTML/CSS editing | ❌ No |
| Blog functionality | ❌ No |
| Database support | ❌ No |
| eCommerce integration | ❌ No |
| SEO optimization tools | ❌ Limited (manual only) |

🔐 Can I Use SSL with Site Publisher Pages?
Yes! If your Govaio domain has an SSL certificate installed (e.g., through AutoSSL or Let's Encrypt), your Site Publisher page will load via HTTPS.
- Make sure your domain’s SSL is active.
- Site Publisher will automatically use HTTPS if available.
🧩 How to Remove a Site Publisher Page
If you decide to switch to a CMS like WordPress or upload your own HTML files:
- Go to File Manager > public_html
- Delete the files generated by Site Publisher (typically index.html and associated assets)
- Upload your new website content or install WordPress
💡 Make a backup before deleting anything—just in case!
