SiteGround reports good results after a full quarter of Softaculous usage

SiteGround web hosting has started a massive switch of all its servers from Fantastico to Softaculous
Auto-Installer in late December last year and has recently reported that the results after the three
months usage of the software are quite positive.

The main reason for the switch reported by the hosting company was the fact that updates of all
applications are available faster in Softaculous. “We wanted to make it easier for our customers to
update as this is critical for their website security and we believe is extremely important.” says Nikolay
Todorov, CTO at SiteGround.com. “Now three months later our customers have been continuously
expressing their satisfaction with the immediate update availability offered by the new solution and we
have seen a rising numbers of application updates happening.”

The easier access to updates was not the only improvement reported by the company. The company
claims that now with the help of Softaculous, it provides nearly 200 more applications for auto-install
than before, including MediaWiki and Magento which are quite popular among SiteGround users. Faster
problem resolutions by the auto-installer support and a convenient API were also some of the main
things SiteGround has reported as positive benefits after the switch. “The communication with the
Softaculous team is very easy and thanks to their API we are able to automate and customize the
software installation and update processes on our servers, which was impossible before. We know now
that the migration of all our 1100+ servers was worth it!” added Mr. Todorov.
