Available One Click Installs

Here at DreamHost we know that programs are a tad bit difficult and and take some time to install so we have built in a great new feature into our Web Panel called "One-Click Installs".

All you have to do is select which One-Click Install you would like, where you would like to have it installed and that's it. We do the heavy lifting while you sit back and think of how you can show off your new program that we're installing for you. You can access the on the WebPanel in the "Goodies" section, of your Webpanel.

You can suggest new one-click install packages, and vote for suggestions made by others, on your Web Panel's.

Completing One Click Installations
Once you've chosen and installed it from the panel, the DreamHost one click installer does all the hard work for you. Once it's done, the One Click Installer system sends you an email containing any further instructions you need to follow in order to complete the installation of your chosen application.

Please note that, if you did not receive the install email that has the instructions on how to finish the installation, you can always check your &quot;Support History&quot; in the Control Panel ( for an archived copy of that email.
