The search for the best hosting company always comes down to what it is that they are able to give you for the best possible price, right?   Other considerations such as speed of service, number of servers (especially if you have a lot of very large sites with a lot of visitors), and the customer service angle has a lot to do with your choice.  These items can be looked at as they pertain to HostPapa and you will be satisfied there as well.

To look at one of the most fantastic applications available with HostPapa we need to engage our imaginations for a few moments.  The program is called Fantastico.  The things that can be done are, again, fantastic.  Let’s look at some of them:

  1. WordPress.  With this blogging software, you can install the ease of use and the performance of the professionals and it has a very wide selection of plug-ins and themes to create your very own attention center.
  2. Noah’s Classifieds.  This script will allow the inclusion of a classified section on your web page to post ads, announcements and help you to notify others about this.
  3. Content Management tools.  Programs and portals such as Geeklog, Joomla, PHP-Nuke, Siteframe and Xoops just to name a few.  This helps you make your web page a dynamic presence, whatever niche it is in.
  4. Customer Relations Tools To Use.  The ability to have a support desk application, a PHP ticket system and a live chat area, not to mention all of the automated follow-ups that you can put in place makes you the envy of all of those who do not have this fantastic platform.
  5. Forums or Discussion Boards.  Have you ever wanted to install an actual forum on your site? Maybe just a quick discussion board to talk to your visitors about the things happening in your niche at the moment.  Discussion board applications, such as phpBB and SMF are yours to do just that.
  6. E-Commerce Tools.  The ability to install an actual catalog, whether it is just the current weekly or monthly offerings, or an entire Sears-sized catalog, is something that many would opt for if they had the ability to do so.  Zen Cart, OS Commerce and others stand by to assist you with this interactive option.  Setting up the listings and coding a shopping cart system is a couple of clicks away.
  7. Billing Systems.  You need to have the ability to make sure that you get paid when someone orders from you and with a couple of the programs in Fantastico, you can get the job done.
  8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).  Set one of these informative pages up quickly and easily.

There are image galleries to make the selection of graphics easy, mailing list management tools, project management scripts, site builders and a very good selection of scripts that will help you set up polls and surveys.  Talk about interactive.

HostPapa hosting has this system as part of their cPanel platform.  That is the first thing you see after log-in.  Remember that HostPapa does all of this while being voted as the greenest web hosting company.
