This service is basically for people who are inexperienced in dealing with such scripts or want to avoid problems with installations. Sridhar’s objective of starting this service is
With the idea that everyone should have a web presence no matter how old they are, where they live, and what they do, I am offering my services of PHP/MySQL script installation free of cost.
Now, anything for free may not be trusted by netizens very easily. Sridhar explains his motives behind offering this service for free.
What is in it for you? Why would you do this for free?
Nothing. Just the satisfaction that I am putting my free time to good use.
How can I trust you by providing you my FTP and Database info?
You may want to create a temporary account for me and delete it once I am done with the installation.
How soon will you start attending my request? How much time will you take to complete it?
I’ll take it up depending on my free time, other pending requests and my mood. Usually each installation will take up about half an hour. I’ll keep you updated by e-mail.
You can also pay him if you want your install to be completed on a priority basis. All you need to do is register with the site and post a request to him using the contact form giving the necessary details.

Looks like a nice site as the scripts are free.
Found you on Brown’s Blog. I like what you have going here, and I like your setup. Please stop by and comment on my blog, I could use the company.
First, thank you for visiting.. I certainly will visit your site whenever I can..
Thanks Vijay for mentioning about my free script installation service here. I subscribed to your blog in Google Reader.
Thanks a lot Sridhar.. I found some really good sites in in your blog as well.. I ll be reviewing some of them soon..
The idea is good. But do you think people would require help in installation when they have automated scripts to do it and with a huge community support?
You raise a good point. But the fact is that not all the people may have access to reliable or helpful communities. In very large communities, you may well be ignored.
Also, some may ask for money to install scripts even in communities.
So, such people can make it here, I guess
Oh, really? I’m surprised! I haven’t ran into such situation. I’m wondering if the word community makes and good ethical sense when they ignore and claim money for lending support?
The fact is that, in some communities the members put up shops offering services for either the forum currency or real $.
Most don’t install for free. I’ve come across very few people offering such services for free. Some do offer free installations and help when asked for, though. But the same cannot be said about everybody there.
But mostly, the forum currencies are easy to earn. So that reduces the problems for amateurs.
With this service, I guess you don’t need that as well.
