  Is this compatible on all hosting providers?

Not at this time. What lacks is supporting viewing of web.config files for Windows
hosting environments.

  Are there any additional functionalities you plan to add?

I have plans to develop features to create replicas of files and database settings
on command. This would enable a website technician to more quickly backup important
content before making changes.
