Fantastico Hosting

Fantastico is a commercial script library that automates the installation of web applications to a website. Fantastico scripts are executed from the administration area of a website control panel such as cPanel.

Fantastico's web site claims that they are installed on ten thousand servers, with a million users worldwide, which would make it the leading product of its type. Fantastico scripts are usually executed when a new website is created, or a new application is added to an existing website.

The scripts typically create tables in a database, install software, adjust permissions, and modify web server configuration files. Although Fantastico is typically associated with open-source software, a handful of scripts are also available that install commercial products.

Once installed, these are available to all of the domains hosted by a physical server; such as web site builder SohoLaunch, PerlDesk customer support software, and AccountLab Plus software for interacting with Internet registrars.
