What is Fantastico?

Fantastico lets beginners install dozens of different scripts and web applications from their cPanel. A lot of these scripts require a user to set up MySQL databases, create users, set up permissions and upload files to their webservers. Fantastico will install and configure these scripts for you in one click :)

How do I get to Fantastico?

Fantastico is installed by default if you are using a Full Featured or Aussie Hosting package. Just look for the little smiley face in your cPanel!

Each time you install a Fantastico application, you use up one of your MySQL databases. Luckily, we provide 20 on the lowest plan, so you probably won't be running out too quickly.

Perhaps the only shortcoming of Fantastico is that it installs the default, stable version of a script. If you want the latest bleeding edge version you may have to do a manual installation yourself.
