What is Collabtive?
Collabtive is a free, open-source, web-based project management tool designed for small to medium-sized businesses and freelancers. It includes features like task management, time tracking, file sharing, milestones, and built-in messaging. You can learn more on the official Collabtive website.
Is Collabtive really free?
Yes. Collabtive is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v3, which means the software itself is 100% Free to download, install, and use. You'll only pay for the web hosting plan you use to run it.
What are the system requirements for Collabtive?
Collabtive requires PHP 5.5 or higher (PHP 7+ recommended), MySQL 5 or higher (or SQLite 3), and a web server such as Apache. All HostPapa Web Hosting plans meet these requirements out of the box.
How do I install Collabtive on HostPapa?
We make it simple. Open the Softaculous App Installer from your cPanel dashboard, search for Collabtive, and click Install. The whole process takes less than five minutes, and you don't need any technical experience.
Can I migrate my existing Collabtive site to HostPapa?
Yes. Our migration team moves your entire Collabtive site for Free, including all files, databases, and settings. Your site stays live during the transfer, and we test everything before switching it over to our servers.
Does HostPapa back up my Collabtive site?
Yes. Our Growth, Premium, and Elite plans include automated website backups. We regularly back up your site data and provide an easy restore process. The Essentials plan includes a basic backup feature.
What's the difference between Collabtive and Basecamp?
Collabtive offers many of the same core features as Basecamp, including tasks, milestones, file sharing, and messaging. The biggest differences: Collabtive is free and self-hosted (you own your data), while Basecamp is a paid cloud service at $99/month. Collabtive also includes a Basecamp data import tool, so switching is straightforward.
What version of Collabtive does HostPapa support?
HostPapa supports Collabtive version 3.1 (the latest stable release) through the Softaculous App Installer. Softaculous notifies you when updates are available and can install them automatically.
What PHP version should I use for Collabtive?
We recommend PHP 7.x or PHP 8.x for the best performance and security. HostPapa lets you choose your PHP version (5.6, 7.0, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, or 8.1) directly from your cPanel.
Does HostPapa offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Every HostPapa plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.1 If you're not satisfied for any reason, cancel within the first 30 days and receive a complete refund for your hosting service. (Domain fees are non-refundable.)
