WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, OpenCart, phpBB, Laravel and more, with new scripts added regularly.
Automatic updates
Every script is refreshed regularly, and sites installed through Softaculous can auto-update to the latest patch.
Backup & restore

Works with every panel
Bundled with most cPanel hosting, and it runs on DirectAdmin and Plesk too.
What is Softaculous?
Softaculous is an auto-installer script library that plugs into your hosting control panel. Instead of downloading source code, extracting it, uploading it, creating a database and running an installer, you pick the application inside Softaculous and it builds the whole thing for you.
Softaculous ships with most hosting providers at home and abroad, especially on cPanel. DirectAdmin hosting can integrate it too, though that is less common.

Installing WordPress with Softaculous
The seven steps below are the real DirectAdmin flow — the order matters, so work through them top to bottom.
1. Log in to DirectAdmin using the link your provider emailed you.
2. Open Apps Installer and choose WordPress.
3. Fill in the WordPress login details (admin account, password, email).
4. Pick a theme if you want one, then hit Install.
5. Wait for the installer to finish.
6. Follow the homepage or admin link Softaculous hands back.
7. Check the site at http://<your-domain>.
Once step 7 checks out, WordPress is live and you can start building content.

FAQ about Softaculous licenses
Can't find the answer you need? Contact the BKNS team
A license BKNS sells = a genuine license from the vendor (DirectAdmin/CloudLinux Inc/Plesk/cPanel L.L.C.) — the activation key is issued automatically via the my.bkns.vn portal. The difference: you pay in VND with no USD credit card, get a VN VAT invoice, 24/7 Vietnamese support, and free installation by BKNS.
DirectAdmin + Plesk + cPanel can transfer a license to another provider (the vendor allows transfer). BKNS handles the operation for free. CloudLinux cannot be transferred — you must buy a new one.
A DirectAdmin/Plesk/cPanel license = 1 server / 1 license. If you have 5 servers you need 5 separate licenses (total price = 5 × monthly price, with a 5-10% volume discount from 5 licenses up). CloudLinux is licensed per server.
BKNS installs it for free: installation time depends on the panel and the OS version. Includes: install the panel + set up the admin user + configure network/firewall/services + import old sites (if migrating). Excludes: custom theme/plugin/integration.
Yes. Yearly billing: -10% vs monthly × 12 for DirectAdmin + cPanel; -15% for Plesk + CloudLinux. Recommendation: long-term stable server → yearly. Temporary / test server → monthly for easy cancellation.
Yes. License issues (activation, deactivation, transfer, hardware change): BKNS supports via ticket. Panel functionality issues (config, plugin, debug): the vendor provides official support directly; BKNS provides best-effort Vietnamese support.
