 |
July 4, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider 1&1 Internet (http://www.1and1.com/) has launched a “new platform offering the best in open source web building applications,” it was announced recently. The company, which bills itself as “the world's largest web host by known servers”, is offering “powerful open source web building tools, fully developed, installed and ready to apply within a few clicks”.
1&1 service provides a range of applications including phpBB, Joomla!, TikiWiki, Noah's Classifieds, Moodle, Mantis and phpAdsNew. According to the company, “the platform is the first solution for installing powerful open source tools within a few clicks, with automatic version updates, security patches and with no intrusion from ads”.
The 1&1 service, entitled “Click-n-Build”, is based upon the Application Packaging Standard (APS). Developed by SWSoft, the standard is the first “definitive” standard for the integration of open source applications within a hosting environment. The solution provides 1&1 web hosting users with one easy-to-use interface for adding, configuring and removing web applications. Click-n-Build manages each installation, provides latest version updates and installs automatic security patches. In addition, it removes the need for downloads, registrations and passwords, and “frees the user to concentrate on leveraging their software”.
"With Click-n- Build, we are proud to offer a significant advancement to web hosting. Open source software has always promised great results but has until now eluded a great number of non-technical users, explained Chairman of the 1&1 Internet Board, Andreas Gauger. “Our new platform delivers great software within a few clicks, and allows every type of user the full benefit whilst 1&1 handles all of the technicalities. As the web becomes ever more competitive, these applications will enable 1&1 customer websites to remain dynamic and competitive." |
