There is a plethora of tools available for developers allowing them to access and work on the sites in the ways they are comfortable. Below we have compiled a list of the some of these tools and features so developers can take a look and make the best decision for hosting with us. This list is also perfect for owners who want to have options and separate the access between themselves and developers. These are available for shared, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/vps-hosting\">VPS<\/a>, and Dedicated server plans.<\/p>\n<h2>Quick information access<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"header\">One click technical information access<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">The account owner can email all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/amp\/viewing-account-technicial-information-in-amp\/\">account technical information<\/a> (server names, usernames, IP addresses) from within the Account Management Panel. This will give the developer everything they need to be able to access and configure the site.<\/div>\n<h2>cPanel Access<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"header\">cPanel access<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">All the websites on an account can be managed via a control panel application named <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/\">cPanel<\/a>. This is a graphical interface that allows the developer to perform various site creation and management tasks very easily.<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"header\">cPanel Login capability separate from AMP<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">The developer is able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/how-to-log-into-cpanel\/\">log into the cPanel<\/a> dashboard without having to go through the account owner&#8217;s Account Management Panel (AMP).<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"header\">Softaculous Installer tool<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/softaculous\/install-software-softaculous\/\">Softaculous<\/a> is an application that quickly installs over 250 programs. This allows the developer to get started quickly and not have to stumble through awkward manual installations.<\/div>\n<h2>File Access<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"header\">FTP Access<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/ftp\/getting-started-guide\/\">FTP access<\/a> allows a developer to upload, download, and manage files with a single remote interface.<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"header\">SSH Access<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">For the more savvy developer, SSH access (also known as Shell access) is an option. It allows account management from a command line interface. This can make managing a site much faster as there is not a graphical user interface getting in the way.<\/div>\n<h2>Email<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"header\">Email Creation<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">Some hosting providers do not allow email. You do not have to worry about third party email addresses or configuration here. Developers can set you up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/business-shared-hosting\/how-to-create-professional-email-addresses-for-your-business\/\">professional email addresses<\/a> using your domain name.<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"header\">Email forwarder creation<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">Developers can set you up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/email\/set-up-email-forwarder\/\">email forwarders<\/a> so that a single email address can send copies to as many recipients as you wish.<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"header\">Individual spam management<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">Spam sucks. Our hosting accounts have multiple tools for managing spam including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/email\/spamassassin-fighting-spam\/\">Spam Assassin<\/a> as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/user-account-level-filtering\/\">Account and User level filtering<\/a>, just in case your coworker likes to get emails from Nigeria but you don&#8217;t!<\/div>\n<h2>Newly Added Features<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"header\">Ruby<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">Ruby development has been a hot topic for a few years. Our hosting accounts are configured for Ruby in case your developer wants to build you applications with this language. See our page about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/ruby-hosting\">Ruby Hosting<\/a> here.<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"header\">PostgreSQL<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">Normally a companion to Ruby, PostgreSQL is an Object-relational database management system designed to store and retrieve data for your applications. This is offered alongside the ever popular MySQL.<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"header\">NVMe SSD Servers<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">We offer servers with Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) or Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface Specification (NVMHCIS). These drives are much faster than standard SSDs and HDDs and speed can make or break your site. Developers will also love the NVMe SSDs on the back end because it can increase their productivity.
