Software Compatibility

Software List

Creating a website based on an established software platform is the easiest and most secure way to expand your online presence. Most of our clients use popular software packages to build their websites. This is why our servers have been tested with some of the most popular software packages in use today.

What are the benefits of using a popular software package?

Ease of use

Building a website from the ground up can be a hefty task. Popular web software packages come packed with features. Such software allows you to build a complex website with no coding. Even if you are a developer, a popular software package will save you plenty of work.

Security

Popular web software packages have huge user bases and communities. This helps vulnerabilities to be discovered and fixed quickly. We also take pro-active steps to prevent vulnerabilities in popular web software from affecting sites hosted on our servers.

Speed

Since many of our clients use popular software packages to build their websites, we have implemented additional software tweaks to optimize site speed. This increases the performance of the powerful hardware our servers use even further.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install software that is not listed on this page on my account?

Yes, as long as the software is compatible with our hosting environment. If you are unsure whether the software you would like to install is compatible with our servers, you can always contact our support team for assistance.

Can your support team install a software package for me?

Such services are generally beyond the scope of our support team. If you are having difficulties installing a software package, you can always contact our support team, and they will assist you as much as possible.

Which hosting plan should I choose?

Most of our customers find that our Business plan provides the best value. It offers lots of disk space (100 GB) which is enough for big websites and quite a few large mailboxes (up to 10 GB per mailbox on the Business plan / 30 GB on the Business Plus plan!).

If you would like to run software that utilizes Node.js, Python/Django, Ruby on Rails, or Go, we would recommend that you check our WebApps and VPS plans.

What is the difference between CMS and CRM?

CMS stands for Content Management System. This type of software is used to create and manage content (pages, images, documents, etc.). Such software is often used for website development, as it provides simple means to create complex web pages. CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. This type of software allows the automation and integration of sales, marketing, and support within an organization. Such software is often used to create more efficient customer relationships.

Can I install the same software on a shared server and a VPS?

Yes. The hosting environment on all our servers is identical. A VPS server will also allow you to run projects utilizing Node.js, Python/Django, Ruby on Rails, and Go.

Can I build a website without using software?

Yes. You can build a website by writing your own code.

What are the supported programming languages on the server?

We do our best to provide our customers with the latest and most stable versions of the available programming languages. We offer support for PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, and TCL.

The supported PHP versions are listed in the PHP Version. You can easily change the default PHP interpreter for your hosting account through the PHP Settings interface of the hosting Control Panel.
