The Premium Web Builder is a great tool to build your website with. One of the great benefits of Premium Web Builder is you can build a website in minutes and publish it without having any coding experience whatsoever.

As with most easy to use website builders, there are some limitations. as you become more advanced in Premium Website Builder, you may notice it does not provide the support you want for your website.. If the Premium Web Builder does not meet your website's requirements, there are other programs you can use.

What are some alternatives to the Premium Web Builder?

If your website needs have outgrown the Premium Web Builder, don't worry since we have other programs available for use at no additional charge.  There are many web design programs available but below we have highlighted different options that we recommend:

• WordPress. WordPress is the most popular blog-based software currently available.  You can install it onto your account in only a few quick steps in your account cPanel, by using Softaculous.  Please read our WordPress Education Channel for more information on installing and using WordPress. There is a great WordPress forum where other community members can help you collectively resolve your problems as well.
• Joomla and Drupal. If you are looking for even more control and want a dynamic website Joomla or Drupal may be an alternative for you.  There is a larger learning curve for Joomla and Drupal but both programs have very large communities and forums to assist you along the way. You can also check out our Joomla 2.5, Joomla 3.0, or Drupal education channels.
• OsCommerce, ZenCart, and Cube Cart. These three programs are E-Commerce solutions that we recommend if you want to sell things on your website but need more options then the eShop in the Web Builder provides.  Just like the other software we've mentioned these shopping cart alternatives to Premium Web Builder are installable through Softaculous in your cPanel account with InMotion Hosting. You can review our support center sections on osCommerce, ZenCart, and Cube Cart for more information as well.
• Dreamweaver, iWeb, Microsoft Expressions Web, and other design programs. InMotion Hosting does not offer Dreamweaver, iWeb, or Frontpage but websites designed in these programs can be published onto your account with us.  Not all design programs are free however and will need to be downloaded from their official websites.
