Hi,
I just want to know if there is a way to install PhantomJS on a free plan.
Any info/resource on that matter?
Thanks in advance!
I’m not sure if you can use phantom.js on free hosting, as it requires the ability to run commands via SSH. You can upgrade to a VPS package and ask support how to install it there.
Hi sulliops,
I’ve read somewhere that it’s possible to use Composer in order to install PhantomJS : https://packagist.org/packages/jakoch/phantomjs-installer
The thing is, I don’t even know if composer is available on a free account 
No, Composer is not available on the free package. Once again you will need the VPS package above.

Thought this might help you understand what VPS hosting does that free hosting can’t:
A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine sold as a service by an Internet hosting service. A VPS runs its own copy of an operating system, and customers may have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS.
Good Luck!

Thanks everyone.
I’ve been on a VPS for years and I’m pretty sure I don’t want to do it again.
I’ll try to find a different option.
Thanks again!
