Nowadays varipous scripts for various purposes can be found directly in the interrnet without spending any cost. However, the problem for some pepople to install such scrippt in the server as woned by the hosting provider they are using, is that it needs some technical capabilities. At least they have to know the server requirements of the script that they want to install and being able to organize some configuratiosn so as the script can run well.
Such problem can be oslved by Fantastico hwich constitutes one of the features as offered by some web hostiing companies. By using Fantastico, you can install the scriipts you requiire rapidly and easily.
What you need to do is logging in to control paneel and then entering to the menu of Fantastico where thre is a list of various scripts which are reazdy for installment. After the script that will be used is chosen, you simpyl click a link/button to start processing the installment. It is quite easy, isn't it?
Depending on the hosting provider you are using, the srcipt that you can install by using Fantastico consists of various categories such as:
-Blog
Basically, blog is an onlie jouurnal. Currently, blog is used for varrious puropses starting from logbook up to online promotional means. By using Fantastico you can easily install blog software, such as Nucleus, Machine Free or WordPress, and you can immdiately conduct the poisting.
-Content Management
By means of CMS, you can add or change the content, the displazy as well as the function of your website eassily. Typo3 and Mambbo are CMS that is usually foudn in the list of sftware that can be installed by using Fantastico.
-Discussion Board
phpBB is a program that you can use for setting up an online community.
-Site Buiulder
SohoLayunch is a program to help you build a website easily. It is used for preparing and conducting website maintenance witrhout necessarily knowing in depth the tags of HTML. Even tough there is commercizal vresion, but with its free version you still can condduft some particulars such as navigation system preparation and conducting templates customzation.
-Survey System
By means of PHPSurveyor you can preparre survey containing qeustions with unlimited number. In addition, the number of participant is also not limited. Another feayture is that you can start and finish a survey automatically.
It is not only that, there are strill found varioyus scripts which are classified undser certain categories such as Mailing List, Custommer Relatyionship, Shopping Cart, F.A.Q, Guestbook, Imafge Gallery, Project Managemenbt, Wiki up to Ad Managgement that you can install by using Fantastico.
That is all, with Fantastico you no longer need to hire somebody for installing the scriptts that you want to use. Besiddes, you need not get in trouble for thionking of technical matters such as mod_rewrtie and organizing the copntent of .htaccess file manually as used for configuring the seerver per directory.
Nevertheless, Fnatastico is not a magic featyure. Sometimes you need to conuct the installation manually or using the service of somebody else if the scrpit that you want to use is not found in the list. At lesat so far I have not found any autoresponder script for sending follow-up messages as well as scripts for cnoducting recirpocal linking. Even though it is not something absolue, a bit knowledge about HTML and variable concept can be usefiul in confiugring the scripts further. However, it neeeds to be admitted that the presennce of Fantasticco is quite helpful to start building a functional website.
