Linux Hosting

Web hosting plans come with a choice of Linux or Windows. Linux hosting offers users the ability to install open source software applications and content management systems. Open Source is ideal, if you are happy with the standard install but be aware that it is harder to customize (or it may not be possible to customize to your liking) and once you create a database website, all sorts of things can go wrong with it that would not have gone wrong if you had a HTML website.

These applications are free but you do need to invest time working out to use it. The minimum hosting plan that is required to run these applications is the Advanced Web Hosting plan. You must order Linux hosting and you will be able to see the following applications in the Applications Vault which is inside the Hosting Control panel, on the desktop page.

To install an application; select the software from the list and click its install button. We list the open source software available but every open source software has its limitations and quirks. If you can't get it working, you will need to hire a developer to assist you or spend a lot of time googling for answers. Generally, if you use open source software in the standard install without making to many hacks to the code, it is more stable. However, be prepared to invest time if you plan to install and use this software.
