# Template properties

> **Obsolete:** The `template.properties` file is now obsolete. As of PageSeeder v5.98 these properties are under the [Global properties](global_properties.md).

Controlling a range of settings, the PageSeeder template properties are the following:

| **Property** | **Description** | **Default value** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| webSiteAddress | Specifies the host of PageSeeder - must be a valid [host name](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.2) |  |
| webSitePort | The port to access PageSeeder - must be a valid [port number](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.3) | **80** |
| webSiteScheme | Specifies the URL Scheme used to access PageSeeder. Supported values: **http** or **https.** | **http** |
| documentPort | The port for document URIs in PageSeeder | **80** |
| documentScheme | The scheme for document URIs in PageSeeder | **http** |
| emailDomain | The domain to use for emails sent to and from PageSeeder and in the user interface. If set to **pshosts**, makes incoming and outgoing emails from PageSeeder use the domain of the default folder for the group. |  |
| emailSenderDomain | This can be used to change the domain on emails sent by PageSeeder if it needs to be different from that in the user interface. *A better way to do this is through the organization config.* |  |
| customFolder | The default template used by projects for the server if not **default** |  |
| servletPrefix | The path used to access PageSeeder servlets as defined in the Web configuration (web.xml) | **/ps/servlet** |
