Its official site describes a module and theme system, with content types such as blogs, videos, photo galleries, forums, events and groups.

Jcow Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

The official site says it is 100% PHP source code, but neither the site nor the Softaculous page reviewed lists specific PHP or database versions. Confirm exact requirements with the vendor before installing.
The official site presents Jcow as a licensed commercial product with a license tied to a domain. Softaculous lists version 14.2 from 2022. Check the vendor's license terms to see what applies to the version you install.
From cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, choose Jcow, fill in the domain, directory and admin details, and install. It generally takes a few clicks with no manual file upload.
The vendor site claims it can handle large member counts on general shared hosting, though this is the vendor's own claim and depends on your traffic. Required PHP versions are not listed on the pages reviewed.
Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run Jcow alongside other apps in its category (Social Networking), such as pH7Builder and Dolphin, 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.
Check the requirements listed above against the plan resources. Every plan can be upgraded at any time, so you can start small and grow.
Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.
