HOSTGATOR CPANEL & SCRIPTING SUPPORT

CONTROL PANEL

Hostgator, like most other high-quality web hosting providers, features the industry favorite cPanel for website administration. CPanel has all of the features webmasters need to launch and maintain their sites, is easy to use, and has every configuration option webmasters require.

Hostgator also offers a Page Wizard application, which allows good-looking Web pages to be built with a few clicks of the mouse. Web based file management is another notable feature, as is script support for Fantastico.

SCRIPTING SUPPORT

Fantastico script support allows users to install a wide variety of software packages in their cPanel for improved site management. There are packages for blogs, forums, image galleries, polls, content management systems and blogging (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and more).

Fantastico is a well-established favorite among webmasters, and its inclusion in Hostgator’s plan adds more value to an already impressive array of features.

For more advanced users who prefer installing scripts manually, Hostgator supports all popular scripting languages including:

• CGI
• Python
• PERL 5
• PHP4
• PHP5
• Ruby on Rails
• CRON jobs, Apache .htaccess and custom php.ini are also supported

WordPress is the very popular blogging and CMS platform. Hostgator offers 1-click installation of WordPress that comes included with all their hosting packages.
