With the availability of 7.1, Installatron Plugin Lifetime licenses have increased in price to $299 for dedicated servers and $149 for VPS. Lifetime licenses provide an incredible value due to the fact they're only ever paid once; there are no renewal fees for support or updates and all future versions are included. This is the second time the price of lifetime licenses has been increased since they were introduced back in 2004, and no further price changes for any type of license are expected.

As Installatron Plugin 7.0 approaches wide distribution as our release version, we're pleased to announce two hidden features are now available for testing by servers updated to the EDGE release tier.

The first feature adds an Installatron Plugin Control Panel Widget which integrates seamlessly into the main dashboard of cPanel and DirectAdmin. This fully-customizable widget can be configured independently by each reseller on a server--display installed applications, display a selection of installable applications, or just display a default selection of popular applications.

The second feature adds the ability to manage Windows ASP.NET applications and MSSQL databases. Immediately available are DotNetNuke, BlogEngine.NET, and YetAnotherForum.NET. We'll continue to evaluate additional popular and easy-to-use ASP.NET applications for inclusion in the future.

12 January 2009

We have unveiled a new pricing model that is aimed to make Installatron more affordable for everyone.

Under the new model, we no longer require bulk purchases to receive a discount; instead, discounts are now based on the total number of active licenses owned at the time of purchase and renewal. That is, the more active licenses you own the cheaper the next one is to purchase, and the renewal fee for all your licenses is based on the number of active licenses that you own at the time of renewal. To view license purchase and renewal cost at specific numbers of active licenses, see the table on our pricing page.

As part of the new model, we have also introduced monthly VPS licenses starting at $2.50 per month. All of our VPS Licenses will work on Virtual Private Servers ("VPS") that also have fewer than 100 hosted domains or less than 1100MB dedicated memory. Servers that do not have VPS software, or that have both more than 100 hosted domains and more than 1100MB dedicated memory, require a Dedicated-Server license. All major virtualization software is supported, including Virtuozzo, OpenVZ, VMware, Xen, and others.

The new pricing model, including the new monthly VPS licenses, is immediately effective for new purchases. Existing licenses will continue on the model they were purchased, and may be converted to the new model by opening a ticket. Clients with old custom contracts may choose to continue to purchase those licenses. We have been planning these changes for some time and no further price changes are expected in the foreseeable future.

31 December 2008

Installatron 5.2 has been released, with two big advances in control panel support.

First is the addition of support for the Windows edition of Parallels Plesk Control Panel, which joins the existing support for Plesk Linux/FreeBSD, DirectAdmin, and cPanel/WHM. Installation details for Plesk Windows can be found here.

The freshly-released Plesk 9.0 is also completely supported by Installatron 5.2, for all operating systems supported by Plesk. See Installatron Requirements for a full list of supported software.

We have also opened up the control panel system with an API, allowing intergration of Installatron into... well, just about anything. The immediate benefit will be to hosting providers who use customized control panel software, whom can now make the world's best auto-installer (I'm talking about Installatron) available to their users. As for other uses, it will be interesting to watch developments. Details on the control panel API can be found here.

Development will now focus on 5.3, and the cool things therein.

3 November 2008

Magento eCommerce, the hugely popular ecommerce system, has been added to Installatron's installer system.

30 September 2008

Installatron 5.1 has been released, with some new major features (to go with the website redesign). Most notable is the new Converter tool, found in Administration > Tools, which allows you to quickly and easily import/convert, into the Installatron format, installs created by a long list of other auto-installers (specifically: Fantastico, Application Vault, CPAddon Scripts, CPSkins Auto-Installer Pro, and CPSkins PSA-Installer Pro). Migration to Installatron is as easy as it's ever been.

Additionally, the old three-day demonstation license has been replaced with a new FREE SINGLE-DOMAIN EDITION. This free edition, which is free to use for as long as you like, will be locked to the first domain that you install a script on, and can be easily upgraded to the unlimited-domain version by purchasing a license. Speaking of which, the installation and purchasing systems have been greatly improved, so both trying and/or buying as now very simple.

Work is already well underway with version 5.2.

8 March 2008

osTickets, the widely-used and now re-developed "trouble tickets" system, has been added to Installatron's installer system.
