Adding More Applications
« on: March 04, 2010, 03:20:19 AM »
I've seen the feature Softaculous on your shared hosting packages. What kind of applications are there which can be beneficial for my website? How many applications is good to add. I've heard that adding too many applications will cause some problems.

Thanks for the list, it sure is long.

I'm interested in the E-Commerce applications. Adding that application gives me the option to place a checkout option for my clients, right? Do I need to pay any gateway for these applications to run or will they run as soon as I add them on my website?

Hello abender,  You are correct, most e-commerce websites require a payment gateway of some type for taking credit card payments.  A good example of that would be authorize.net.

I have heard the same about adding too many applications. I also bet it can be very costly with the more application's you add.

With the more applications you add the more space it will take away so you would have to buy a bigger package.  It is like everything else you have to way the odd to see what is best for you.
never over look the opportunity to tell someone you love them because you never know when they will be taken from you.

Remember that you can install most of those applications yourself, it's often not too hard either if you read the documentation as most newer scripts have much user-friendly setups aimed at novices.

This is a great list of optional applications!  It has been a couple of years since I tried to do a website, but I don't remember that many applications being offered.  It was a more expensive hosting site, also!  Thank you for working so hard for your customers.
