About Power Tools

Power Tools are off-the-shelf Web applications that provide e-commerce, content management, forums, chat, and other dynamic features of Web sites. If your service provider enables Power Tools for your site, the Power Tools shortcut appears on the Home page of the Site Administrator control panel.

For tools that require databases:

- You need MySQL available on your site

- You must have changed the default MySQL password before installing the tool

You can install and manage the tools enabled by your service provider. For a complete list of the available tools, click Power Tools (Tools section) in the shortcuts section of the home page.
