BlueHost Simple Scripts
Well, I bet you’re not aware of BlueHost’s latest ’simple scripts’ features – even if you’re familiar with the company. Not long ago, the company had just released the ’simple scripts’ features into their cPanel – and the features now is all free for you webmasters.
What can Simple Scripts do?
Well to be direct, Simple Scripts work like an upgraded version of Fantastico – which is an easy script installation feature.
Detail about Simple Scripts
For those who are keen to learn about Simple Scripts, references from the officials – BlueHost – comes handy:
“SimpleScripts is an automated script installer just like Fantastico (Also available in bluehost control panel).
You simply click on the link to SimpleScripts and the rest is up to you. You can add and remove different web based applications with the click of a button and try out all the new FREE software that is now available for you. Another important benefit of SimpleScripts is we have included many popular scripts that aren’t currently available in Fantastico such as Roundcube webmail client, Drupal, Dada mail (Mailing list software), PHPBB 3, and more. Thousands of different scripts work on Bluehost, but many users can’t take advantage of that because it requires a difficult manual install.
We hope to alleviate that with SimpleScripts. In addition to new scripts that SimpleScripts offers we encourage all our current users to install with SimpleScripts before Fantastico if the script is available in both places. We ask you to do this because SimpleScripts offers far newer versions of software than Fantastico and is updated MUCH faster with new versions. This is EXTREMELY important to mitigate security risks over time. This lowers our support incidents, and gives you a better and more secure software to environment to work in!SimpleScripts doesn’t just install software. It will allow you to remove software packages that were installed with it, as well as maintain your installs with the newest versions of the software. Once you install with SimpleScripts you can rest assured that maintaining those packages will be easy and secure in the future.”
As I am already a satisfied users of Fantastico (in fact I already became dependant to Fantastico), this addon features definately add up the ‘feel good factor’ in me to BlueHost. Come on guys, when’s the last time you upload WordPress folder via FTP and install the service manually? Super Simple Scripts absolutelu rocks! No doubts.
