Disclosed embodiments relate to online website building using customized back-end functionality. Operations include maintaining an online database configured to store a library of website building elements for configuring a front-end of an indexable web page; transmitting instructions to a browser permitting a user to remotely access the stored library, and to permit the user to utilize a selection of the building elements for constructing the front-end of the indexable webpage; receiving specifications from user to configure a programmable event for activating user-editable code providing customized back-end functionality associated with the indexable webpage; receiving user edits to the code; storing the edited code; and in response to a trigger associated with the programmable event, executing the edited code for implementing the customized back-end functionality.

Custom back-end functionality in an online website building environment

Disclosed embodiments relate to on-demand assignment of a web-server execution instance for a website server. Operations include storing generic website server code for hosting websites; storing website specific code unique to each of the websites; controlling a plurality of web-server execution instances, at least some of the instances running website specific code unique to at least one of the websites, and at least others of the web-server execution instances running the generic website server code devoid of the specific unique code for any one website; receiving a request to access a specific website; determining whether the specific website is already hosted, and if not, directing the request to a first one of the plurality of web-server execution instances and injecting into the first one of the plurality of web-server execution instances running the generic website server code, additional website specific code unique to the requested website.
