NO....CSB is dead. And what they offer is DIFFERENT.
They are very selective with the history of Trellix!
They are leaving out our side of the family tree.Trellix, the web-based site builder software used by Web.comĀ®, was created in 1997 by Dan Bricklin of Trellix Corporation.....
In 2001, Trellix developed Trellix Web Express, an online-based version of the software that included the same ease of use and first-rate editing features but required no download. InterlandĀ®, which would later become Web.com, bought the rights to Trellix Web in 2003 and began further development
Dan Bricklin created Trellix. It was available in a PC installed program called TRELLIX WEB. That version of the program is not mentioned on the WEB.com website because that version was licensed to GlobalSCAPE. GlobalSCAPE continued to develop the program and branded it CuteSITE Builder (CSB). Interland continued to develop the
ONLINE site builder program and GlobalSCAPE developed CSB. Trellix eventually closed its doors and its programs were absorbed by Interland that later became Web.com.
GlobalSCAPE maintained the license rights to CSB, the
PC installed software that allowed users to publish to ANY HOST of their choice. They released CSB 5. And six months later, Web.com refused to renew the license for the software. GlobalSCAPE spent a ton of time and money to develop the last version of the PC software and now they could not sell it! It was dead. Web.com refused to continue the license agreement so development and support stopped for the PC installed product.
Today, Trellix Web Express is called Trellix Site Builder. This online tool allows Web.com customers to choose from a great variety of website templates, all of which are fully customizable.
The online Trellix program is called TRELLIX SITE BUILDER. It is NOT THE SAME as pc installed software. If you use the ONLINE software you get stuck with that host and can not move. YOU have no editing software.
I made a comparison a long time ago about the differences between programs. For a year or so before the termination of the license, there was confusion on the GlobalSCAPE forum because online Trellix users were being sent to GlobalSCAPE for assistance.
You can read the main post about that here.SO...Do I think that web.com will release a new version of Trellix/CSB?
NOWhy? They do NOT want to develop a standalone piece of software like CSB. The online builder version is more lucrative for them. And the confusion regarding the online and pc software became a real sore point. Kill of the pc software and the Trellix online thrives. They trimmed the family tree and our limb was chopped off.
