Can Prototype run on shared hosting?

Yes. It is static JavaScript run in the visitor's browser, so a standard shared cPanel account can host it. It needs no SSH, Composer or special access and adds almost no server load.

How do I install Prototype?

In cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, select Prototype and click Install. It is usually a few clicks with no manual upload. Softaculous puts the library files in a directory of your account, and you link them from your pages.

Is Prototype still maintained?

The latest version listed by Softaculous, 1.7.3, dates from September 2015, and the GitHub repository publishes no releases. It still serves existing sites, but newer projects should consider an actively developed library.

Is Prototype free to use?

Yes. Prototype is open-source software released under the MIT licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.

Can I install other applications on the same plan as Prototype?

Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run Prototype alongside other apps in its category (Libraries), such as jQuery and AngularJS, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.

Which Hostripples plan should I choose for Prototype?

Prototype is documented as a light application, so the Starter plan is a sensible start for one site; upgrade any time if traffic grows.

Do you migrate my existing Prototype site for free?

Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.

What is Prototype?

Prototype is an open-source JavaScript framework that provides class-style object-oriented features, Ajax support and DOM manipulation for building dynamic web applications, released under the MIT licence. It is a library, not a site you run: Softaculous places the files in your account. The latest release listed dates from 2015.

How to install Prototype on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, Prototype is live

Project status: Softaculous lists version 1.7.3 released in September 2015, and the official GitHub repository has no published releases. The official prototypejs.org site returned a TLS certificate error when fetched, so it could not be read to confirm maintenance status. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

Licence: MIT · Built with: JavaScript (runs in the browser) · Official site: github.com/prototypejs/prototype

Common uses

Maintaining existing sites built on Prototype
Legacy scripts that depend on its class helpers
Studying classic JavaScript framework design

Prototype requirements

PHP: Not required (client-side JavaScript framework)
Database: none

Prototype runs in the visitor's browser, so the server only serves static files and needs no PHP or database. Its latest listed release dates from 2015, so it suits legacy projects rather than new builds.
