Use of Content Management System Installation

Another popular method of building a website is using a CMS or Content Management System. This lets users create websites by installing a program onto the root document, allowing the editing to be done by an admin user.

HostGator is compatible with various Content Management Systems and blogging software, most of which can be installed using our one-click installer, Softaculous, or QuickInstall (Note: QuickInstall will be going away). Softaculous and QuickInstall are available in the Software section of cPanel.
