Introduction To Fantastico

Fantastico is very popular a component of the cPanel web site control panel software. This feature allows you to install scripts to your website, even without any knowledge of scripting. Most web hosts using cPanel provide this plug in for free, however, if your host does not, it is available for individual purchase.

Fantastico is appropriate for just about any website or web based business, with scripts that serve nearly every purpose you could want. Using this software allows even beginning webmasters to build sites with amazing features formerly only available to professionals. The software automatically installs everything needed to use each script in just a matter of moments, making this program a must have for any busy webmaster. The Fantastico plug in features scripts for :

  • Blogs
  • Portals - Content Management Systems
  • Customer Support Programs
  • Discussion Boards
  • E-Commerce
  • FAQs
  • Guest Books
  • Billing
  • Image Galleries
  • Mailing Lists
  • Polls
  • Wikis
  • Plus many other useful scripts

Using Fantastico is as simple is logging into your cPanel for your own website and clicking on the Fantastico icon. Once the page has displayed, you can select the scripts you want and install them with the click of your mouse.

The program will then walk you through the necessary steps to have the chosen feature added to your website. Fantastico’s software is constantly updated and upgraded and adding new scripts to make their product even more useful. Fantastico’s convenience and ease of use will add more than you could imagine to your website.

During the next few months we will be reviewing every program inside of this awesome one click instalation software, but, as usual, if you have any questions, are lost or need help setting up your website, visit us in the Webmaster Forums

Introduction to cPanel

cPanel is one of the most popular web hosting tools on the market today. This program works as the brains of your website, allowing you to make the necessary changes and adjustments to your pages. This program is relatively easy to use, even for beginners, which is what makes it such a popular product with web hosting services.

Getting into cPanel is simple. All you need to is enter your website through the correct page. Usually the url will read: yourdomainname.com/cpanel

The cPanel DashBoard

Once the page has opened, your cPanel Dashboard will be in front of you. On the left side of the page will be a list of your general account information, as well as server information for the server which holds your site information. This will give you all of the information you need about the status of your account and your website.The rest of the page contains a wide variety of icons. You can use this section to access your website’s email accounts, change your passwords and contact information, add domain names, and check your individual disk usage for specific pages and features of your site.

There are also links to modify and add other features to your site, such as chatrooms, bulletin boards, as well as adding SSL features to certain pages and functions within your web pages. You can also manage your site’s images, contact support, and access a host of other important site functions. cPanel contains everything you could possibly need to keep your site running smoothly.

Coming Next Month: cPanel step by step, where we will take a good look at every single option brought to you by cPanel, what it is, what it does, why you’d care.
