Application Installer

The ordering of a server fully automatic procedure. Even the beginner can order the hosting himself and install all the needed applications. The applications are not hosted when you order the server. If you order the server, you actually have the operational system installed (Linux) and the server management panel. Most popular ones are cPanel and DirectAdmin. They both have the special feature – application autoinstaller. In cPanel it is called Softaculous, in DirectAdmin – Installatron. There are other autoinstallers, but these two are the most popular ones.
The autoinstallers are usually are used when customer orders shared hosting service. Also they are used in Free web hosting service providers.Application auto installer contains the installation files of different applications grouped by the categories (blogs, forums, CMS, E-Commerce, DB management and others). Application istaller also have some features which allow managing the databases and PHP. User cannot change the setting of the server and plan as it is not a dedicated one, but Auto-installer can manage everything automatically without user entering the commands and settings.

How Application Installer Works

In the beginning none of the applications are hosted on the server actually. The user must install them first. Auto-installer software contains the latest installation files which are unzipped and installed to the server using web interface. During the installation, the application installer creates all the needed databases and other files and the project is launched. It is possible updating the open source CMS inside the application once it is installed.

If you are a hosting customer, you should check how many databases your plan has. Installing one application means that you have used at least 1 database automatically. If you have 5 databases limit, please install applications responsively – once you will install the fifth application, no more will be allowed to be installed.

All the other setting will be arranged by the autoinstaller software automatically.
