How to Enhance Your Website Using cPanel Scripts

For your convenience, Bluehost offers several scripts for use on your website. These tools allow you to set up common, ready-made cPanel scripts.

The scripts include hit counters, mailing lists, blogs, e-commerce, password-protected subdirectories, searches, free-for-all pages, and random link pages. It is advisable to test each script before beginning to edit its content. Programming knowledge is NOT necessary for the implementation of these scripts.
