  Hello, I want to purchase the business plan but I want to know how I can see the files of the site and put them in visual studio code to edit codes.

  Another question, do you offer domain email?

  If not how can I get a domain email?

  Thank you and good day!

  Hi there,

  I want to know how I can see the files of the site and put them in visual studio code to edit codes.

  The Business Plan does offer SFTP access so you can view your site’s files directly using a FTP client like FileZilla, and you’ll be able to edit them from there in your preferred code editor.

  However, we don’t recommend ever editing a site’s files directly. Aside from the fact that it can completely break your site if you do something as simple as forget a semi-colon, any changes you make in this way will be overwritten every time the software updates.

  So to make changes to your site’s code, rather use a functionality plugin, or create your own custom plugin or child theme, depending on what it is you want to do.

  Note that we don’t provide support for any custom coding work on your site.

  Another question, do you offer domain email?

  We do, yes. You can find detailed information on the email options we have available here:

  Note that email is not included in your plan (a domain is, for the first year only), but costs extra.
