Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SiteX CMS. Can't find an answer? Contact us and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
SiteX CMS is a self-hosted, feature-rich PHP content management system with a built-in AI API. It lets you manage articles, blog posts, categories, top lists, user accounts, comments, and more — either manually through the admin panel or programmatically via the REST API using AI agents.
SiteX CMS requires PHP 7.4+ (PHP 8.1+ recommended), MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.6+, and either Nginx or Apache. Minimum 512MB RAM and 1GB storage. For optimal performance, we recommend Redis or Memcached for caching.
Upload the files to your server, create a MySQL database, navigate to your domain in a browser, and follow the 2-minute installation wizard. The installer will configure the database, create your admin account, and set up the initial configuration.
Yes. You pay once and own the software forever. There are no monthly or yearly fees to use SiteX CMS. Updates are included for 1 year and can be optionally renewed at a reduced rate ($49/year for Single, $99/year for Extended).
The Single License ($149) covers 1 website on 1 domain. The Extended/Agency License ($299) covers unlimited websites and domains — ideal for agencies, freelancers, or anyone managing multiple sites. Both licenses include all features, full source code, and 1 year of updates.
Your purchase includes 1 year of free updates. After the first year, you can optionally renew to continue receiving updates. Your CMS will continue to work perfectly without renewal — you just won't receive new features or patches.
Nothing changes. Your CMS continues to work exactly the same. You simply won't receive new versions. You can renew at any time to get access to the latest updates — Single at $49/year, Extended at $99/year.
Yes. Contact our support team and we'll apply the price difference as credit toward your Extended license upgrade. You'll only pay the difference between the two licenses.
SiteX CMS includes a built-in REST API that allows external applications and AI agents to manage content. You generate an API key from the admin panel, configure permissions and IP whitelisting, and then use standard HTTP requests to create, update, and manage all types of content.
SiteX CMS is compatible with PaperclipAI, CloudClow, and any AI agent or bot that can make HTTP API requests. The REST API uses standard JSON over HTTPS with API key authentication, so virtually any programming language or platform can integrate with it.
Absolutely. With the Single License, you can use it for 1 client site. With the Extended/Agency License, you can deploy SiteX CMS on unlimited client websites — making it perfect for agencies and freelancers.

Yes. SiteX CMS supports custom themes. The default theme is fully customizable via CSS, and you can create entirely new themes by following our theming guide in the documentation. No PHP framework knowledge required — just HTML, CSS, and basic PHP templating.
Yes. SiteX CMS has built-in multi-language support including hreflang tags, per-language content management, and language-specific URLs. The admin panel supports managing content in any number of languages.
Very. SiteX CMS automatically generates proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD structured data, XML sitemaps, canonical URLs, breadcrumbs, and hreflang tags. All pages use semantic HTML5 and are optimized for fast loading — no bloated JavaScript frameworks.
SiteX CMS runs on any hosting with PHP 7.4+ and MySQL. We recommend VPS providers like DigitalOcean, Hetzner, or Vultr for the best performance, but it works perfectly on quality shared hosting too. Check our hosting guide for detailed recommendations.
