Bluehost Fantastico cPanel Tool

Fantastico is the most popular commercial one-click installer. It is a addon in cPanel that allows easy installation of popular open-source scripts. Fantastico only install the software to a specific directory/domain, and setup initial settings or user names. For example if you want to install wordpress, you enter administrator name, e-mail and the rest is setup by fantastico. Files are automatically copied, mysql database table is automatically with options saved. This is the easiest way to install web application, but it is not recommended. Software developers do not recommend installing via fantastico because the latest version is not always available. The following applications/scripts are available for installing: wordpress, b2evolution, drupal, joomla, phpbb, mambo, zencart, mybb, forums, galleries, shopping carts and various others popular scripts. I personally use fantastico only for installing wordpress. After wordpress is intalled I immediatelly update it to the latest version via wordpress automatic update tool. Support for the scripts is not provided. Here is a screenshot of the installer (Fantastico de luxe is the latest version):
