I need help with plug-ins and scripts

[Crunatus]

Hello,

I'm new to DA and need help on how to install plug-ins, scripts, etc.
I am basically trying to install an IP blocking plug-in.

I looked at the 'generic' DA website and they show no how-to's on
installing plug-ins, scripts. I know how to navigate already. I've
created a PHP database. I've uploaded the script. Now what?

I keep reading about the 'plugin controller for DA'...
What is that? I don't see anything like that. If they're referring to
Installatron, that doesn't seem to allow any script installations other than
what is offered. So that's of no use.

If someone could atleast point me in the right direction, that'd be great.
Maybe I should just cut my losses and find another webhost that uses Cpanel
which I'm used to and my current host 'SAID' they offered. Suprisingly so,
after I just transferred over a week ago, they said they no longer use it as they found it 'unstable'.

Thanks
