One click installers
What are one click installers?
One click installers allow you to “install” a range of popular software from a library of applications for use. These can include wordpress, joomla, drupal and many others depending on your host and possibly the hosting plan you select at signup.
The 3 major one click installers used for hosting.
fantastico -https://netenberg.com/
softaculous – https://www.softaculous.com/
installatron – http://installatron.com/
All have panel integration (cpanel, plesk, etc..)
All allow you to install the most current version of popular software including.
wordpress
drupal
joomla
magento
Why I like installatron over the others.
– Ease of use, hands down installatron is easiest to use.
– clone a site and move a site to another location – very easy to do.
– remote backup including dropbox integration.
– automatic install of security plugins (wordpress specific in this case) during the one click install.
– automatic update with backup and rollback ; this is huge. Installatron will automatically backup, then attempt to update each piece that needs a update. If a update fails it will roll back to the backup file. It sends emails out regarding the status of the updates and if they were successful or not.
– schedule of backups and retention. This only backs up the installed application and not your entire cPanel or control panel account. This allows your site to be portable and easy to restore in the event something happens to your site.
– Easily login to your wordpress site from inside of cPanel.
– Easily reset your wordpress login credentials, this includes the password.
– Install two factor authentication on creation of wordpress site, or later on. This can be enabled by default.
– Limit failed login attempts, by default.
– You can import current installs into installatron so that it can manage it for you. This is very handy to help manage automated updates and backups.

Domain registration with David Anderson of Canvas Host
Topics covered with David from Canvas Host.
– What is a domain registrar.
– Buying a new domain.
– Price change after one year – this is very common to see a $1.99 or lower, intro price and then have a much higher price renewal after the first year. Could be much much higher.
– Domain transfer to new registrar – unlock domain, generate epp code, send epp code to new registrar. Watch the transfer fee, will renew for 1 year.
– Grace periods – 0 – 45 days after it expires. Just the cost to renew.
– Redemption – after 45 days. This costs a lot more money + renewal. Fee varies on registrar.
– Pending deletion after 80 days, which then anyone can register after released. This is cheaper than paying redemption fees, but could cost you your domain.
– Loosing a domain by lapsing and entering delete state.
– Contact information must be current on domain registration so that you can be reached. DO NOT USE bogus/false info!!
– Private registration – $7.50 per year, can vary by registrar, some TLDs are free for private registration. For exmaple, *.uk. Some domains can’t have private registration, .us for example.
– Warning about domain registry of america letter and the scam. Domain slamming. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_scams
