Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Aplus.Net WebsiteCreator is a simple-to-use content management tool which offers many template choices and a short, step-by-step design process. Best of all, no HTML skills are required to build and maintain a professional looking website.

Aplus.Net offers a free version of the product and two advanced versions (WebsiteCreator Full Version and WebsiteCreator eCommerce Version) available for an additional monthly fee. The WebsiteCreator is included with the following hosting plans:

We have developed a web tool, which you can use to migrate your existing Trellix-based site to the new WebsiteCreator platform. The migration is optional as Aplus.Net will support both the Trellix WebsiteBuilder and the WebsiteCreator tools.

I. How does the Trellix to WebsiteCreator migration tool work:

• The migration tool will move all your existing website files to the new WebsiteCreator tool. It will also keep your existing website structure intact.
• The migration tool can be used for the migration of one Trellix website only. The tool will migrate your primary Trellix website published in the main /html folder.
• The migration tool will not delete your existing Trellix website off the Trellix Design Server so you will not lose the original Trellix-based website during the migration.
• The Website Creator design templates are different from the Trellix Design templates, thus you might need to tune the design of your website once the migration phase is completed.
• You can have a website with up to 9 pages using the Free WebsiteCreator plan. If your current Trellix-based site has more than 9 pages, you will be prompted to remove the additional pages from your new WebsiteCreator site.

Important: You can upgrade your Free WebsiteCreator plan to one of the unlimited service plans by following the instructions in the following Knowledge Base document: How can I upgrade my WebsiteCreator service plan?

• You can use the migration tool multiple times.

II. How can I access the Trellix to WebsiteCreator tool and migrate my existing Trellix-based website:

2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.

7. Choose the option of migrating your existing Trellix site to the new WebsiteCreator platform by following the respective hyperlink. You will be automatically redirected to the WebsiteCreator.
8. Click the Start import button to initiate the Trellix to WebsiteCreator migration.
9. Click the Finished button to complete the migration phase and start using the WebsiteCreator to maintain your website.
