What Software Can I Use with Shared Hosting?

One of the tools in our cPanel (hosting account control panel) features is something called Softaculous. You can use Softaculous to install the web's most popular software to your account with 1-click. That includes some of the web's most used solutions including WordPress, Drupal and Joomla. With Softaculous, you won't have to worry about fumbling around with download files, uploading install files or having to hire a developer to help you install the software you want on your Web Hosting account. All you will have to do is log into cPanel and click the Softaculous icon. From there you'll see categories of solutions you can add to your account. These categories include blogs, content management systems, eCommerce carts, forums, wikis and so much more. You can also use the Softaculous search feature to find the exact software solution you want to use.

You'll even receive an email from the Softaculous manager informing you when new versions of the software you've installed are available. You can log right into your cPanel account and update your software with a click of your mouse within the Softaculous interface. This will ensure that you have the most up to date features helping keep your site both secure and running at optimum performance.

Are you an experienced developer? You'll be happy to hear that we are a "developer-friendly" web host. In fact, we support the very best versions of PHP, MySQL, Apache, Python, Node.js and more as well as offer resources like SSH access, Git version control software and so much more.

It doesn't matter if you have a Mac, Linux or Windows-based computer, you can choose our Linux Hosting regardless of your computer's operating system. Your Shared server will support multiple versions of PHP, Python, Ruby, Node.js as well as the best versions of Apache, MySQL and many more! All of this basically means that you can host your favorite software solutions on our servers!
