At AccelerHosting, we know that every website owner has different needs and preferences. That’s why all of our hosting plans include multiple website builder options — not just one — so you can choose what fits you best. We currently support SiteJet, SitePad, and Site.pro (often stylized “SitePro”) as cPanel-integrated builders.
In this article, we compare all three side by side, highlight their strengths and tradeoffs, and help you decide which one to use depending on your scenario.
(Of course, WordPress and custom development remain fully supported as well — these builders are simply there for quick sites, prototypes, small business sites, or clients who prefer drag-and-drop simplicity.)
AccelerHosting’s Setup & Offerings
-
All hosting plans (Beginner, Standard, Advanced, Deluxe) include a “free site builder” bundle.
-
We advertise the Accelerated Site Builder ($6.99 per month value) as included for free.
-
Our fast, optimized cPanel environment is branded cPanel Accelerated.
-
Customers can try all three builders (SiteJet, SitePad, Site.pro) on any plan, without paying extra.
1. User Experience & Ease of Use
-
SitePad: Very simple drag-and-drop builder with 500+ themes and 40+ widgets. Publishes static HTML/CSS/JS pages, so it’s lightweight and fast.
-
Site.pro: Balances simplicity with more features (plugins, e-commerce, multi-language). Easy to launch from cPanel.
-
SiteJet: Modern no-code builder with an AI Website Generator, customizable templates, and more flexibility. Slightly steeper learning curve, but powerful.
Verdict: For minimal fuss, choose SitePad. For a step up in features, Site.pro is great. For scalability and customization, SiteJet leads.
2. Templates, Widgets, Extensions
| Builder | Templates | Widgets & Features | Extensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| SitePad | 500+ responsive themes | 40+ widgets (sliders, forms, galleries, maps, etc.) | No plugin system |
| Site.pro | 200+ templates | E-commerce, forms, multi-language | Plugin system & import tools |
| SiteJet | Many templates + AI presets | SEO tools, animations, forms | Custom HTML/CSS/JS injection |
3. Performance & Site Output
-
SitePad: Publishes static HTML, which makes sites lightweight and fast.
-
Site.pro: More dynamic with plugin/e-commerce support; slightly heavier.
-
SiteJet: Dynamic features, but optimized output (compressed CSS/JS, lazy loading).
If speed is top priority and you only need a simple site, SitePad wins.
4. Customization & Flexibility
-
SitePad: Limited — mostly templates and widgets.
-
Site.pro: Flexible — plugins, custom code, imports.
-
SiteJet: Most customizable — supports custom HTML, CSS, JS, and advanced design editing.
5. Scalability, Team, and White-Label
-
SitePad: Best for individual small sites.
-
Site.pro: White-label ready, plugin system, WHMCS integration. Great for hosts/resellers.
-
SiteJet: Built for agencies — client portals, feedback tools, project workflows.
6. Publishing, Portability, and Lock-In
-
SitePad: Static HTML makes sites somewhat portable, though you lose the drag-and-drop editor.
-
Site.pro: Plugin-based, so moving away may be trickier, though imports are possible.
-
SiteJet: Supports export, but dynamic features won’t transfer fully outside its ecosystem.
7. Integration with Hosting
-
SitePad: Integrated with cPanel, one-click builder access.
-
Site.pro: Dedicated cPanel plugin, widely supported by hosts.
-
SiteJet: Native cPanel extension, especially in newer versions.
All three are included free on AccelerHosting plans.
