The insanely boring life…

Fantastico is one of my best friends when it comes to hosting. Someone who can be extra ordinarily lazy, like me, like to have things done for you. Fantastico is the web version of that dream. Why?

It installs scripts like phpBB, SMF, Joomla!, Mambo, Wordpress and the list goes on…in fact, here is the list:

Now, as I have said, I like things done for me, and this is it! It installs these scripts on demand Just a few clicks and you are off! The range of scripts are fantabulous! So, if I choose a host, I always make sure they ahve trusty Fantastico before I sign up…along with Mod_Rewrite, which is the tool for url manipulation.

Anyway, so, if you choose a host, make sure they have CPanel, Mod_rewrite enabled and Fantastico!
