New One-click installs: WordPress, WooCommerce, Mage-OS and PrestaShop on any server

See the plans
Applications1 min readUpdated

Create an application

Add a new site to a server: name, platform, PHP version, domain and the optional one-click install.

An application is one site on your server, with its own Linux user, folder, PHP pool, domains, databases and logs. One server can hold many.

  1. Open the server and go to Applications

    The list shows the applications already on the server.

  2. Fill in New application

    Name: 2 to 24 lowercase letters or digits, starting with a letter (for example shop). It becomes the folder /srv/apps/shop and the Linux user app_shop.

    Primary domain: optional. Leave it empty for a free address such as shop.c12345.shopwhizzyhosts.com and add your domain later.

    Platform and PHP version: the platform sets sensible PHP defaults (memory, timeouts, workers).

  3. Install the software now (optional)

    Tick Install the platform's software now to get WordPress, WooCommerce, Mage-OS, Magento Open Source, PrestaShop or Laravel installed with a database and an admin account. Leave it unticked to upload your own code.

  4. Create

    The application is ready in seconds; an install runs as a job for a few minutes.

Running the same form again on an application that was only partly created repairs it. Nothing is lost.
