Just the tip of the iceberg.

Here's just a few reasons why Installatron Plugin is the leading automation solution for control panels.

Simple, yet powerful.

Targeted towards website owners that may be unfamiliar with the traditional process of installing web applications, the Installatron 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 or administrators can perform a series of upgrades or backups as a single process.

Background processes

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

Only the best applications on the web.

To ensure a high-quality, trouble-free website owner experience, Installatron strives to provide only the best applications on the web.

New applications are evaluated regularly

New and unique web applications are evaluated regularly for inclusion into Installatron. However, applications that are complicated to use and applications that do not offer unique functionality complicate the website owner experience and are avoided.

Quick and reliable application updates

The applications provided by Installatron are regularly updated as new versions are released. Priority is given to critical security releases and the most popular applications. Updates are tested and made available within minutes to hours of release, depending on the amount of testing required by the update.

Multilingual applications

Most applications are available to be installed and upgraded in different languages. Some applications are even available in 40+ languages.

Language independence.

Installatron is language independent. Both the Installatron user-interface and most applications are available in different languages.

Profitable.

Installatron Plugin enables businesses to increase revenue through multiple avenues, from search engine optimization to up-sales and added value.

Search engine optimization (SEO)

Installatron Plugin can increase search rank by optionally adding a discrete, theme-matching link to each installed application.

Flexible pricing options

A free version and flexible paid licensing models are available meet a wide range of needs. Continue to the pricing page for more information.

It just works.

Installatron Plugin is tested on hundreds of server configurations; on Linux, CloudLinux, FreeBSD, and Windows, with and without suphp and mod_ruid2, on many VPS systems, and it will install and operate happily alongside other auto-installers and third-party software.

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 is installed on and hosted by your server entirely, guaranteeing the highest reliability and smoothest website owner experience.

RVSkin compatibile

Installatron fully and automatically integrates with the popular RVSkin cPanel theme.

Comprehensive administrative tools.

Installatron Plugin has many advanced and comprehensive administrative controls that make managing a server with Installatron a breeze. Here's just a few highlights.

Access control

Access control features enable administrators and resellers to precisely control which applications are available to specific website owners and web hosting packages.

Force upgrade out-of-date installed applications

Installatron's Installed Applications tool enables administrators to forcibly upgrade any installed applications on the server, without the need to log in as the user. Resellers are also able to upgrade the installed applications of their users.

White-label re-branding options

Instalatron offers the ability to integrate the auto-installer seamlessly with a company brand and/or website theme. The Installatron name can be changed, user-interface CSS can be modified, email templates can be modified, control panel links to Installatron can be modified, and just about any text displayed throughout the user-interface can be changed.

Full reseller control panel

The reseller administration tool enables resellers to re-configure the majority of the Installatron's settings for their users, include rebranding, installed application upgrading, Message of the Day, email settings, and access control. The server administrator can optionally disable any of these settings for resellers.

Migration assistance.

Automatically import data into Installatron Plugin from competing products such as Fantastico.

Automatic migration

The admin-level "Converter" tool is designed to automatically locate and import installed applications from the current versions of Fantastico, Softaculous, Plesk Power Pack (aka Application Vault), cPAddon Scripts, CPSkins Auto-Installer Pro, and CPSkins PSA-Installer Pro.

Need to import manually-installed applications?

Installatron Plugin's user-level Import wizard imports manually-installed applications and applications installed by auto-installers not supported by Converter.
