Open Real Estate Web Hosting with Free Domain

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Open Real Estate designed to do?

It helps agencies and agents publish properties and handle visitor interest online. The vendor's listing describes sale and rental listings, photographs, maps, search, and reservation inquiries. It is not a guarantee of leads or transactions. Check which features belong to the edition and optional modules you plan to install.

Can RSH Web install Open Real Estate through Softaculous?

Yes. RSH Web Services offers Open Real Estate installation through Softaculous in cPanel and can help with initial setup. The Softaculous catalog lists version 1.39.0, but check the package and edition offered when you install. Set the correct domain and administrator details, then test property pages before announcing your launch.

Can visitors request a property viewing?

The catalog describes inquiries and booking requests, including a way for visitors to ask about a property. Test the workflow for your exact edition, configure where requests are delivered, and ensure someone on your team responds. A booking request should not be presented as an automatically confirmed appointment unless your configured system actually supports that.

Does Open Real Estate support multiple currencies?

The application advertises language and currency options, which can help display listings to audiences in different markets. Verify how the selected edition stores, converts, or merely displays a price before publishing international listings. If exchange rates or checkout matter, confirm those separate functions instead of assuming that a currency label provides them.

Are paid listings and advertising included?

The publisher describes paid-services, tariff, and advertising modules, but these should be treated as edition- or module-dependent. Before designing revenue plans, confirm licensing, payment integrations, the exact module version, and whether it is maintained. Hosting the CMS by itself does not enable a billing system or promise that an advertising feature will earn revenue.

Can I import listings from my old agency website?

That depends on the old site's export format and the import options supported by your Open Real Estate edition. First use cPanel to back up existing files and data. Then map property attributes, photos, locations, and URLs into a supported workflow and test sample listings. A Softaculous installation does not automatically convert another CMS's data.

What information belongs in a property-site backup?

Save the listings database, every uploaded property image, site configuration, application files, and any paid or custom modules. Keep a record of license details and external integrations as well. Confirm that a backup can actually be restored into a private environment before upgrading; an archive with only database rows will not recover missing photographs.

Is Open Real Estate still available and maintained?

Softaculous lists a 2025 release of Open Real Estate version 1.39.0 and links to its vendor for support. That is evidence of a relatively recent packaged release, not a promise that every earlier version or optional module receives updates. Check the vendor's current maintenance and license terms before commissioning a new property website.

Do I need a separate license from the developer?

Some Open Real Estate editions and modules are commercially licensed. Confirm your exact edition, allowed domain usage, extension purchases, and upgrade terms with the software publisher before deployment. A hosting plan covers the server service, not an independently sold CMS license. Keep proof of purchase and credentials with the project's administrative records.
