Fantastico is a web application management utility available via cPanel- your website's administrative portal.

Such applications include Content Management Systems (CMS), Blogs, Shopping Carts, Mailing Lists, Wiki's, Billing Systems, and much much more. A full list of the available application packages can be seen in your cPanel login.

Fantastico is the preferred means to install and manage applications to your website. You also have the ability to manually install any application supported on the web server's platform but then the burden of installation, configuration, and maintenance are on your shoulders.

Fantastico simplifies installation by only requiring the core information such as creating and admin user. For instance, if installing "phplist", a mailing list management utility, it maintains it's own administrative interface for creating lists and managing users. You'd be asked for the username and password for this application when Fantastico does the initial installation.

Likewise upgrades are simplified through Fantastico. Most web software packages are under constant development and security patching. When a new release becomes available it's simple a matter of using Fantastico to do the upgrade. It will detect the currently installed version perform the necessary steps to bring you to the current version.
