Some web-hosts Our official web hosting partner 1&1 offer a 1-click install in order to save you time and get you started even faster. Using these can drastically reduce the installation time for inexperienced users.
Those web-hosts mostly use the following script libraries:
Some of these scripts even support 1-click update, which is invaluable. Other hosts have their own installation scripts. Check with your own host for more information. Last but not least, PrestaShop has its own hosting solution: by registering on PrestaBox, you offload all the technical hurdles of hosting to our own team, and can focus on your shop, clients and sales.
