Softaculous
We provide a comprehensive suite of web development tools, though we do not engage directly in the process of web development.
Our extensive collection of website scripts is available for download via "Softaculous" which is found in your domain control panel.
Softaculous is a commercial script library that automates the installation of web applications to a website. It is typically integrated into web hosting control panels like cPanel or InterWorx, and others. Softaculous provides a user-friendly interface for users to easily install, update, and manage a wide variety of software applications with just a few clicks.
The below are some of the benefits of using Softaculous
