Frequently Asked Questions about Web Hosting

    What is a WYSIWYG editor?

    WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. A WYSIWYG editor lets you create and edit a website as if you were looking right at it the way a visitor would. Some WYSIWYG editors have drag-and-drop functionality, meaning you can move around different modules with your mouse and put them where you want them.
