SimpleScripts.Com: Install Web Scripts Your Web Hosting Does Not Provide

As we all know, not all web hosting companies provide many web scripts by default inside their ‘one-click installer’ area, they provide some they regard stable and compatible with their system. So to have the unsupported script we need to do it manually, like download the script from its homepage and then going through the installation process

I believe no matter how experienced webmaster you are, surely you prefer to pass through the process as simple as possible. For example, I want to build a Pligg site but unfortunately Lunarpages does not have Pligg script in their WebApps Pool and I am too lazy to install it manually

Fortunately I found Simplescripts.com, it’s doing almost exactly I wanted.

SimpleScript is easy one-click management of over 50 of the web’s top applications, including WordPress, Joomla, phpBB, Roundcube, Gallery, and more. SimpleScripts is a “hosted service”, so you can add applications to your existing web host account, just about anywhere!

There are currently 69 web scripts you can pick and install there, and the scripts are classified in 24 categories such as blog, client management, content management, social networking and more

Here is how it works:

1. Registration:

There are two options of registrations provided; free and premium one ($15/year). If you take a free account you will have 3 free installations only but for premium account you can have unlimited instalations plus unlimited upgrades and security updates, upgrade notifications via email, one-click Import existing installations

2. Start installing the script:

Currently SimpleScripts supports the following Web Hosting companies:

• ANHosting
• Bluehost
• Dot5Hosting
• DotEasy
• FastDomain
• GoDaddy
• HostGator
• HostMonster
• HostMySite
• HostPapa
• InMotion Hosting
• iPowerWeb
• JustHost
• LiquidWeb
• LunarPages
• Midphase
• PowWeb
• Site5
• SiteGround
• StartLogic
• Verio
• WebHostingPad

You still don’t get what I mean? Well, let’s say you have account in LunarPages and want to build a Pligg site, as Lunarpages does not provide that Web script in their One-Click Installer pool (at least currently) and you don’t want to do a manual installation then SimpleScripts is a good solution for your problem.

Just select Lunarpages or any hosting company you are currently at then install your chosen Web Script by firstly filling your Domain Name, FTP Accounts, FTP Hostname, DB Username, DB Name and Hostname in SimpleScripts form and install! In about minutes your script installed and ready to roll!

3. Well done!

Note: this is not a paid review, the reason I promote SimpleScripts is simply because I like its service and have saved me from lengthy process of script installation, thus I want you to experience the same
