Fine-Tune your Managed WordPress with Softaculous

Install Softaculous and manage WordPress installations like a pro.

Benefits of Softaculous for Managed WordPress

Softaculous provides everything you need to offer Managed WordPress solution to your clients.

Auto Install WordPress

Softaculous provides API to auto install WordPress when a user purchases the hosting plan with you. Ready made modules are available for WHMCS and Blesta. For any other billing panel you can use a very simple API call.

WordPress Plugins and Themes

Along with WordPress auto install you can also configure to install custom plugins/themes. For instance if you want to install a set of plugins for better security, cache, seo, etc you can pre configure using WordPress Plugins/Themes sets and then get it installed and activated by passing parameters to the Auto Install API call.

This makes it easier to customize your WordPress instance setup without interfering the WordPress package update available in Softaculous. So no need to re-create the WordPress package when there is a new version of WordPress available.

Auto Upgrade WordPress core

Softaculous has the option to enable auto upgrade WordPress core to Minor versions or Major and Minor versions both as per your preference. This can be configured while installing WordPress or even after WordPress is installed. Or you can simple force it from Softaculous admin panel and all updates will be done as soon as the new version is available.

Note : Softaculous takes a backup of full installation before upgrade so if anything goes wrong you can restore from the backup.

Auto Upgrade WordPress Plugins and Themes

Just like auto upgrade for WordPress core, Softaculous also allows you to enable auto upgrade WordPress plugins and themes. This can be configured while installing WordPress or even after WordPress is installed. Or you can simply force it from Softaculous admin panel and all updates will be done.
All plugins/themes are upgraded once every 24 hours.

Note : Softaculous takes a backup of the plugins/themes (that are going to be upgraded) before upgrade so if anything goes wrong you can restore from the backup.

Staging WordPress Installations

Softaculous offers a Staging feature where you can test upgrades before applying it on live installations to be sure that the live installation does not break.

Backups and Restore

You can enable auto backups daily/weekly/monthly or even at a custom specified time while installing WordPress or even after WordPress is installed. This ensures the sites are always backed up and in case anything goes wrong or the site is compromised you have a backup.
Backups are done in user’s home directory by default. You can also configure a custom backup directory from admin panel (maybe a server over NFS or a mounted drive for backups).

Bulk Import Installations

Already have WordPress installations done manually or via other auto installer ? Don’t worry, you can import all existing installations to Softaculous from admin panel or CLI.
Once installations are imported you can manage these installations via Softaculous.

GUI/API/CLI

All the features in Softaculous can be managed from GUI/API/CLI. It’s upto you which way you would like to managfe.
