Fantastico?

**donov** · Dec 28th, 2010, 2:35 pm

I'm currently selling webhosting simply as a biproduct of my webdesign business...

As my main focus isnt on the webhosting is it worth me extending my existing cPanel licence to include Fantastico... considering id likely be one of the few to use it and i could manually install everything.

In this case, extending your cPanel license could be a great idea as it will allow your customers to stick with you for long, also installing fantastico, should not charge any extra as upon your request your web host will install in your cPanel for free.

Fantastico is well worth it. If you are providing service for customers and clients, it is a must have really. It includes great scripts that are easy to install and your clients would very much appreciate it. I know I do when I got it for free with my VPS package and even my clients love it.

Fantastico is indeed a very popular and a widely preferred application in cPanel. It offers multiple single click install scripts for users. But in addition, I'd like you to take a look at Softaculous. It is very similar to Fantastico, but it offers much more easy to install scripts.

That is why so many people on my reseller love cPanel. It has Fantastico and most of them are amateur webmasters so they love to use the one click install feature.

Compare to Fantastico, the new and most happening similar application Softaculous is one of the greatest one click installer, offering around 176 scripts to use to create any kind of website in just few clicks. If your web hosting provider offers Softaculous, you can ask them to provide you instead Fantastico.

I am using Fantastico as well as Softaculous but I like Softaculous as it is very easy to use if you compare it with the first one.

Giving your clients the ability to install applications like Wordpress, etc. instead of you installing it for them will save you a lot of time, and time = money. Fantastico is a great feature that most Cpanel hosts offer, if you have it available too it's another reason for your existing clients to stay with you are not research what your competition has available.

Auto script installers like fantastico and softaculous made the life of webmasters much easier. And nowadays reliable web hosts provide these functions with control panel by default........So those days are now gone when to install simple worpress script we had to request web host's support department....

Webmastering isn't what it used to be. Now anyone can literally make a blog in seconds. It is just so darn easy.

Yeah thats right, its not just blogging, with the availability of Softaculous and Fantastico, people can now create a site of almost any sort ie. may it be a shopping cart, forum, social networking, bookmarking etc. they offer approximately 209 different scripts to fit to the varying needs of users.
