Q. Are all scripts in Softaculous maintained by eUKhost regularly? Could you confirm that eUKhost.com maintains an up-to-date and secure list of mods and scripts?

:- Softaculous is a cPanel control panel addon and available on all our Linux cPanel Hosting plans at no additional cost. It is an external library of scripts which is integrated with cPanel for customer convenience. As and when Softaculous releases updates, we also run Softaculous upgrades. Having said that, there have been past instances where script version upgradations on softaculous have caused a few issues with cPanel compatibility owing to difference in versions of complementary modules. This has been a reason for one set of updates to be actually rolled back. eUKhost.com will always keep softaculous upto date till the time it does not hinder cPanel modules functionality.

Ans. Fantastico is maintained by a third party (Netenberg), and the updates are available only when they add them in for the web admins to upgrade. We have configured auto updates for Fantastico on all our cPanel Hosting Servers those run through a cron every night. If there are any updates from netenberg available then those are fetched and installed. This updates are applicable for all scripts included in Fantastico.

Fantastico gets updated all the time with the latest script versions. Script updates are often released for security reasons, so if you have a script installed with Fantastico, you should definitely check back in your cPanel to see if an updated version is currently available. Fantastico can update your script with the changed files, keeping your site protected and secure.
