Fantasctico is a script that allows you to install web based application directly from you cPanel. Many webhosting providers offer this script as part of your services. Generally it takes less than a minute to install an application via Fantastico script. Since our website is hosted by BlueHost, we will use their Fatastco Script as an example. Keep in mind that applications within Fantastico may vary and may not be up to date. Another reason we have chosen to provide BlueHost as an example is that their Fantastico script notifies you whenever an update to an application(s) is available so you can update to most current version.

When you log into your cPanel on BlueHost, you will find Fantasctico under Addons / Plugins menu. Generally Fatastico script represented by this smiley face icon:

When you click Fantastico, you browser will bring you to the installation panel where you can choose from many different applications. Note that with Fantastico a MySQL database (where required) will be created, so you will need to assign database user when prompted.
