Applications
The panel installs ready-made applications on your website in a few clicks: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OpenCart, PrestaShop and Nextcloud. The database, the settings and the administrator are created automatically.
Installing
- Open the domain and its "Subdomains" tab.
- On the website's row (the main domain or a subdomain) click "Install an application".
- Choose the application, confirm and click "Install".
Requirements:
- The website's folder must be empty. The temporary page we put into a new website doesn't count. If there are files in the folder, the installation stops and nothing is overwritten.
- Your plan needs a free database. A new database is created for the application alone and counts towards the limit.
- The website runs on https. Without a certificate it gets a free one from Let's Encrypt, and the installation starts once it is ready. The domain must point to our server.
Everything is usually ready within a few minutes. The installation page refreshes by itself and shows how far it got.
After the installation
The application's page shows the website's address, the administration's address, and the administrator's username and e-mail.
- The password is generated and shown until you click "I saved the password", for 7 days at most. After that we can't show it again. Change it in the application's administration if you want your own.
- The username is your hosting account's name. PrestaShop logs in with the e-mail address.
- The administrator's e-mail is your profile's e-mail.
The database password is stored in the application's settings and can't be changed from the panel - the website would stop working.
The applications
| Application | For | Language | Administration | Updates |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WordPress | website, blog | the panel's language | /wp-admin/ |
automatic: core, plugins, themes |
| Joomla | website, portal | English | /administrator/ |
by hand, from its administration |
| Drupal | website, portal | the panel's language | /user/login |
by hand; notice by e-mail |
| OpenCart | online shop | English | /admin/ |
by hand |
| PrestaShop | online shop | the panel's language | an address unique to each shop | by hand, with the update module |
| Nextcloud | files, calendars, contacts | the panel's language | /login |
by hand, from its administration |
Notes:
- PrestaShop gets its administration at a random address (for example
/admin123abc.../) for security. The address is on the application's page - keep it. The shop has no demo products, and its country is the one in your profile. - Nextcloud keeps the files in the website's folder. They count towards your plan's disk space.
- The background tasks of WordPress, Nextcloud and OpenCart run from an automatic cron job. Joomla and Drupal run them on visits to the website.
AI Site and the AI assistant
An AI Site is a ready static website made from your description by artificial intelligence (Claude): a few pages with text, design and navigation. Choose "AI Site" when installing and describe what you do, which pages you want, style and colours, contacts. The site is ready in 1-3 minutes and written into the website's folder. No database, nothing to update, and next to nothing to break into.
Changes. On the application's page, write what the AI assistant should change - e.g. "change the phone to 0888 123 456" or "add a prices page". It gets the current files and writes only those the change touches. If you changed one of them by hand (file manager or SFTP), the change is not applied until you confirm your own changes may be overwritten.
WordPress. When installing WordPress you can describe the site too - the AI assistant creates its pages (home, about, contact and so on), its title and tagline. Later it can add new pages, without changing the existing ones. You edit the texts in WordPress itself.
Keep in mind:
- The texts are written by artificial intelligence - review them. Details you didn't give (phone, address, prices) are never made up - they are in [square brackets] for you to fill in.
- The AI makes no photos - add them yourself (a static site: with the file manager; WordPress: in the media library).
- A static site loads nothing from other sites (fonts, analytics), so it is fast and doesn't track visitors.
- You are responsible for your website's content, as for any other - also when the AI assistant made it.
- Every account has 5 AI requests a month (a new site or a change). Failed ones don't count.
- The AI assistant is only for paid accounts – an account without an expiry date (internal, test, by arrangement) can't use it.
- Your description is sent to the model's provider (Anthropic) only to make the site. Don't put passwords or personal data in it that you don't want on the site.
Looking after the website
Applications without automatic updates must be updated by you. Outdated versions and extensions are the most common cause of break-ins. The content, extensions and backups remain your responsibility. We back up the files and the database every night and keep the last 7 days (File manager); for a copy kept longer, download it over SFTP.
Failed installation
If the installation fails, the page shows why, and the website's folder is left empty. The most common causes:
- there are files in the folder - delete them over SFTP;
- the website's PHP version isn't supported by the application - choose another one in the website's settings.
Then click "Try again".
Removing
"Remove the application" on the application's page deletes all files in the website's folder for good (yours too) and the application's database. You confirm by typing the website's name. After that you can install again from scratch.
