Dear Bluehost.com Customer,
I am writing today to announce a new service that we have added to all our web hosting accounts that are hosted with us. This new service is called SimpleScripts. It is 100% free to use for all current and new accounts and does many fun and important tasks that were previously difficult to do.
SimpleScripts is an automated script installer just like Fantastico (Also available in our control panel). You simply click on the link to SimpleScripts and the rest is up to you. You can add and remove different web based applications with the click of a button and try out all the new FREE software that is now available for you. Another important benefit of SimpleScripts is we have included many popular scripts that aren't currently available in Fantastico such as Roundcube webmail client, Drupal, Dada mail (Mailing list software), PHPBB 3, and more. Thousands of different scripts work on Bluehost, but many users can't take advantage of that because it requires a difficult manual install. We hope to alleviate that with SimpleScripts. In addition to new scripts that SimpleScripts offers we encourage all our current users to install with SimpleScripts before Fantastico if the script is available in both places. We ask you to do this because SimpleScripts offers far newer versions of software than Fantastico and is updated MUCH faster with new versions. This is EXTREMELY important to mitigate security risks over time. This lowers our support incidents, and gives you a better and more secure software to environment to work in!
SimpleScripts doesn't just install software. It will allow you to remove software packagesthat were installed with it, as well as maintain your installs with the newest versions of thesoftware. Once you install with SimpleScripts you can rest assured that maintaining those packages will be easy and secure in the future.
We are constantly adding new software packages to SimpleScripts, so if there is something that you want to see added to the SimpleScripts installer please let our support department know and we will try to add the most requested software packages.
