I actually love it. I don't have to upload a whole bunch of files and folders or upload a compressed file and have the server decompress it, just to get the software ready to install. All I do is login to cPanel, click the Fantastico section, then pick, out of the list of available software, whatever it is I want to install. Fantastico asks where on the domain I want to install the new software. Most of the time Fantastico will prompt for user and pass or whatever other dynamic information that the new software needs. Next, I just click the install button, the page refreshes, and voila. I'm done. The first time I used it, I was like :shocked: at how fast and easy it is. The only drawback is that when you want to install anything that's not on the list, you have to do it manually -which isn't really all that bad, actually, just takes a crapload longer and is way more labor intensive than just clicking a few buttons.

that pretty much sums it up.
fantastico is super easy and you have have a website (blog, forums, image gallery, ecommerce) up and running in a few minutes.

perhaps, most people who don't know that much (or aren't willing to learn) aren't buying webhosting space to begin with......a guess on my part, of course.

Thank's RossMAN, that doesn't look to bad, and it has PayPal links for the payments, just what I need. Thanks for everyone else's thoughts also.

I don't have one yet, but I was looking at cernax, telnap, hostpc, maybe e-rice.

So you think Telnap's specs overrule Cernax's reliability?
