Simple, yet powerful.

Targeted towards website owners that may be unfamiliar with the traditional process of installing web applications, the Installatron Plugin user-interface has been refined over the years to provide an experience that is intuitive for even the most inexperienced website owners.

Standardized one-click workflow

The workflow of all tasks, from installing to upgrading and restoring, use a standardized "one click" navigation and workflow. Instantly intuitive to new website owners, this model enables tasks to be completed rapidly and without navigating through multiple steps or pages. Standardization across all tasks gives Installatron an almost horizontal learning curve.

Time-saving multi-select options

Using multi-select options, tasks can be grouped so that, for example, users, resellers, and administrators can perform a series of upgrades or backups as a single process.

Background processes

All tasks execute in the background, freeing users to perform other tasks or even logout of the control panel while a task completes.

Only the best applications on the web.

Avoid the unnecessary confusion created by out-of-date, redundant, and obsolete applications. Installatron Plugin is actively maintained and only includes the best applications on the web.

It just works.

Thorough testing is completed on hundreds of server configurations; on Linux, CloudLinux, Debian, FreeBSD, and Windows, with and without suphp, mod_ruid2, fastcgi, suexec, suhosin, safe_mode, open_basedir, on many VPS systems, and no conflicts arise from operation alongside other auto-installers and common third-party software. The general rule is that all server configurations supported by a control panel are also supported by Installatron Plugin.

Zero maintenance

Application updates are automatically downloaded to your server each night by a crontab process, reducing server maintenance to zero. Non-application updates utilize three release branches -- edge, release, and stable -- which stagger changes and additions to limit the chance of service interruption for your users.

100% hosted on your server

Installatron Plugin is installed on and hosted by your server entirely, guaranteeing the highest reliability and smoothest website owner experience. No connection to Installatron's licensing servers is necessary for regular operation.

RVSkin and CleanPanel compatibile

Installatron Plugin fully and automatically integrates with the popular RVSkin and CleanPanel cPanel themes.
