What is Reddit's opinion of
Softaculous?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

There is no technical limitation, IMHO. The only problem may be videos, because those are a lot more expensive. Everything else is dirt cheap now, technically.
The problem with scale is no a technical, but a social problem. We have Diaspora, Friendica and Mastidon.social, three fairly successful open source projects, for which lots of people have open servers running. In addition to those three, there are a bunch of toolkits out there, on which you can build social networks. There must be thousands of social networks built upon those tools out there. And those are just examples off the top of my head.
What sets Openbook apart? Nothing. It simply won't scale, because people won't join, not because their servers aren't fast enough. And if, by some miracle, they would suddenly see a lot of growth, they could most likely secure funding through lots of channels. Look at archive.org and what they managed to achieve on a shoestring budget.
Though some of the big projects mentioned above sometimes try and build some interconnect in order to connect the networks. So you would have an account on a Friendica server and see Mastodon messages from friends that have accounts on Mastodon servers. AFAIR, Diaspora has currently fallen behind in that regard, though I may be wrong. But since it is FOSS, you can, at any time, help out.
Which is what the people behind Openbook should do, if they want to "help" against Facebook: Help with an existing project, instead of setting up a new, redundant one.
You just have a swim lane done. The history of the task shows when it has arrived in done. Take a look at kanboard.org, it can do recurring tasks. Check out a demo here: https://www.softaculous.com/demos/Kanboard
I took a partial comment and searched it with quotes.
“If now is not the time to fight, then when? Show the American public which Republicans and Democrats will vote to deny them healthcare during a time like this.”

Try and find a cloud hosting co. with full redundancy within that range if you can, even if it means a smaller package. Avoid any hosting service that offers "unlimited" packages. This means that sites with more traffic can slow yours down, whereas most cloud hosting packages give everyone a fixed amount of bandwidth, meaning that your site isn't at the mercy of anyone else on the server. Find a host that offers softaculous too, which is a great suite of software that allows you to install whatever you need to your site in minutes. I resell cloud hosting space from Site5 to my web design clients so that I have easy access to their accounts. Check out their cloud hosting packages under "other products." They have softaculous built in, and I'm sure they have a site builder tool as well. I've obviously never used the site builder, so I'm not sure how good it is. Here's a list of apps that softaculous has available: softaculous apps list I use a support ticket system and a marketing automation tool on my site that I installed with it. Good luck!

I have Softaculous on cPanel, will have to checkif the backup is enabled.

How did the restores go? I assume good :)
Look, before any project I ask myself: which CMS I should use (90% of the times I choose Joomla, but not always). If I'm in any doubt, I use Softaculous. I go here, and look for the thing I need: https://www.softaculous.com/softaculous/apps
Once I had a site that matches your requests: I did it with Oxwall.
The first step is obviously finding a webhost. There are several out there and everyone is going to have their favorites. While a VPS may be overkill KnownHost is always a good choice. Think of it like buying a larger pair of shoes when you're a kid, you'll eventually grow into it :) If you're just looking for plain ol' simple shared hosting... check out UberHost.
Now that the easy part is over you're going to need to decide what to use for building the site. You've listed a few popular choices but let me run the following by you. Most hosts are going to provide you with cPanel and softaculous (kinda the defacto these days). You can review the software options below:
https://www.softaculous.com/apps
This makes for an easy one click install and maintenance. There are several CMS's that you can use that will have portfolio themes. You can even use site builders like Concrete5 and with just a few clicks have a beautiful portfolio up and running. There are always options like Mahara as well:
If you're familiar with Google Reader, then you'll understand TT perfectly. It is the server & database that sucks up all your feeds and delivers them to you on your PC or your phone. It updates your feeds, stores the content in a database, keeps track of articles you've read, etc. It has a plugin api that makes it super extensible, and also a pretty well fleshed out theming engine to help pretty it up/customize.
Here is a demo you can play with to get a feel for how it works:

If you have any questions, just let me know and I'll answer them as best as I can.
Använder http://www.oderland.se/ och är hel nöjd.
Dock behöver man webbhotel (69kr/mån) eller ett E-postkonto (30kr/mån) för mail.
Lite dyrt för bara en sida kanske, jag har flera och det funkar utmärkt. Softaculous Auto Installer för populära CMS som Wordpress, Joomla etc väldigt enkelt med backup.
Annars hade jag loopia förut och deras DNS tjänst var bra men bytte pga deras bandbreds problem (2010?).
It will depend on your needs but there's plenty of open source ERPs out there. Check out https://www.softaculous.com/apps/erp
You can demo them to see if they do what you need and if you need to, you could modify it without rebuilding from scratch.
I'm just starting out learning PHP. Is there a recommended PHP setup for M1 macOS (Big Sur) for a professional development environment?
I need it for my future job as a web developer for my company. I've heard people use Laravel, Valet, MAMP, etc., but I truly don't know how to set up anything on the back end, especially for my specific machine (base M1 2020 MacBook Air given to me as a gift).
Please help, as the 2018 book I'm using to learn PHP and mySQL recommends AMPPS and according to this thread on softaculous it isn't viable right now. And another discussion on stackoverflow indicates XAMPP may not be the right choice either.
Open source is a great way to go. You are looking for an “ERP” system. There are a few good ones, that I tried, and found it easier to customize YetiForce to my needs.
Softaculous mentions a few here worth a try: https://www.softaculous.com/apps/erp but you can still get these withous softaculous as its FOSS.
My experience with manual WP website migration from cPanel to DirectAdmin.
Basically - paths will be different, but it still boils down to copying all the files and importing database (that you have exported on cPanel).
There are some tools that do that automatically. If your DirectAdmin hosting account has Softaculous, you can use that to do an automated migration (works surprisingly well).
The easiest way to create a social network is to just use existing software. Here's what is available on softaculous, which means these are all easy to install on a huge number of web hosts. https://www.softaculous.com/apps/socialnetworking
There's also distributed social networks like Diaspora and Mastodon.
Now if you want to build a billion dollar business out of your social network, that's a little trickier, but don't discount Zuck's luck of being in the right place at the right time and having connections.
I understand; it's very simple, you rent a hosting server and a buy a domain name, then you install WordPress or any other open source framework that will allow you to upload videos https://www.softaculous.com/apps/video I am myself a developer I'll be happy to help if you wish to implement that system, it's the only safe way I know because you own the content and nobody can put restrictions on it.
That's the WordPress dashboard. Nothing to with hosting.
Login to the WP dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the domain or you can login from Softaculous here - https://www.softaculous.com/docs/enduser/sign-on/
Step 1: Get off Hostgator. Holy fuck they suck. I was with
Step 2: Maybe ownCloud? https://www.softaculous.com/apps/files/ownCloud. You could install this if your hosting provider supported Softalicious. Reviews look pretty good.
If they are that sold on Virtualizor, why aren't they using a VPS company that provides it? Seems like it'd be a lot easier.
Considering you want Virtualizor and Webuzo, both products by the same company, I'd definitely talk to them about having them set it up. It is a product you're paying them for, so they should give some basic help with the install if not do the basic setup on your VPS for small fee. At least get a quote to compare with or some support on place you are stuck.
Looks like they have forum: Sofaculous Forum with support for stuff. Quick looks suggests they'll answer questions and help even if you just a trial user. Or just a general place like serverfault.
This is very likely more a mistake/old page than anything else.
​
I bet they based Ghost support on being able to install & manage it via Softaculous which is a popular program that most hosts used. Softaculous pulled support for Ghost mid 2017 and I bet they just never realized to remove that page: https://www.softaculous.com/news/scripts/ghost-support-to-be-discontinued-13090.html

Thank you for your reply. Im afraid no logs that I can find in cPanel/Modified-WHM. (I have reseller hosting)
As to your last two questions I installed via the cPanel installer. https://www.softaculous.com/apps/others/Firefly_III
I was never prompted to run those commands and not sure I can without being logged as as root via ssh. Can you confirm I needed to do anything else after a softaculous install? I can create you a temp cPanel account if you'd like to replicate the issue.
If you just want to see what it looks like then any Wordpress demo should give you an idea. Here is one
And to understand it, Wordpress.org has a nice documentation
Thank you. I was looking into using softaculous and making custom packages. https://www.softaculous.com/docs/Making_Custom_Package
What do you think would be the most user friendly option? Ideally, my clients could log onto cpanel and deploy websites, landing pages, etc... with a click of a button (after they input path, email, etc.)
I like to look through softaculous for things like this, as they often have an open source solution that can be modified. Would any of these suit your purposes?
well..it depends. here is a very easy solution for you.
signup for a free hosting account like http://www.gigarank.net/ for example. but it can be anyone as long as it offers free cpanel and Softaculous
once logged in to your cpanel account you can easy build a form - the Softaculous application is called Form Tools - see demo here: https://www.softaculous.com/demos/Form_Tools
if you need an easier way just build a form at free form services like http://www.jotform.com/
