Shared web hosting provider, Host Color, has added new software applications to its web hosting plans, designed to enable its customers to use two social tools such as Wiki software and social networking CMS.

Alexander Avramov, Marketing Manager of Host Color remarked, ”We see that there is a growing number of site owners who are keen to build new or to turn their site into web 2.0 platforms and to make them useful communities where users can communicate, bookmark and share good content and valuable knowledge.”

The Wiki tool is based on popular MediaWiki application which has originally been created for Wikipedia. It allows site owners to develop and manage online libraries or encyclopedia websites. The software is powerful, scalable and a feature-rich wiki kind implementation. It uses PHP to process and display information stored in MySQL database.

The other social tool is Pligg content management system, a useful software with a growing popularity. It enables web entrepreneurs to create any king of online bookmarking site, reference guides and knowledge-sharing web communities.

Both applications have been added to four of Host Color’s five shared hosting plans and to its PowerTools package. This is web host’s in-house software tool which allows its customers to add different software applications to service with one click in their hosting management control panel.
