On our servers, whether they are shared or VPS (managed by Hostico), you have the option to install any PHP-based CMS (Content Management System). Among the most popular options are:

  • WordPress: Ideal for creating websites and blogs. Easy to use, with a wide range of themes and plugins available.
  • PrestaShop: A specialized platform for creating and managing online stores.
  • Magento: A robust and scalable solution for complex and large online stores.

These applications can be installed in different ways, depending on preferences or needs:

1. Manual installation

  • Access the official website of the application and download the source files.
  • Upload the downloaded files to your server using an FTP client (such as FileZilla) or via cPanel (File Manager).
  • Create a MySQL database from cPanel, remembering the database name, user, and password.
  • Access the domain where you want to install the application and follow the specific installation steps for the chosen CMS.

2. Automatic installation with Softaculous

  • Access your hosting account's cPanel.
  • In the Software section, find and open the Softaculous App Installer application.
  • From the list of available applications, select the desired CMS (WordPress, PrestaShop, Magento, etc.).
  • Fill in the necessary fields, such as the domain, site name, and administrator credentials, then launch the installation.

Detailed guide for installing applications using Softaculous: Installing an application through the cPanel Softaculous plugin.

Less known applications

If you want to install a less-known CMS or a specific application that is not included in the standard list from Softaculous, the installation process may require additional steps. In these cases, we recommend that you:

  • Check the application requirements (PHP version, necessary modules, storage space).
  • Contact the Hostico team for detailed assistance and customized setup.

For additional support or questions, don't hesitate to contact us. Our team is available to assist you with any information or necessary setup.
