Many hosts offer script auto-installers such as "Fantastico", claiming a one or two click install of a vast range of open-source software. What they don't tell you is that these installations are often buggy and always lag behind the developers in releasing important updates, including security bug-fixes.
Another issue is that users often install something and fail to keep it updated, leaving their account and to some extent the whole server vulnerable to attack.
So instead, Internet Lynx offers the same range of open-source software, plus many more on request, installed on our servers in the way the developers intended. Just let us know which scripts you'd like to use and we will set them up for you and we keep them up to date!
If you'd like to see other applications in this list please contact us.
Note: Most of these programs are open source and available to use free of charge, but some impose licensing conditions. Please check the home page for any program you wish to use and ensure that the authors' conditions are acceptable to you.
