Fantastico is a commercial script library which automates the installation of web applications to a website. Fantastico scripts are executed from the administration area of a website control panel such as cPanel. Fantastico's web site boasts that they are installed on ten thousand servers, with a million users worldwide, which would make it the leading product of its type. Fantastico Scripts are usually executed when a new website is created, or a new application is added to an existing website. The scripts typically create tables in a database, install software, adjust permissions, and modify web server configuration files. Although Fantastico is typically associated with open-source software, a handful of scripts are also available which install commercial products, which once installed, are available to all of the domains hosted by a physical server; such as web site builder SohoLaunch, PerlDesk customer support software, and AccountLab Plus software for interacting with Internet registrars.
There are more than 50 applications that have Fantastico scripts associated with them. The most commonly added systems include:
1. Web content management system
2. Shopping cart software
3. Wikis
4. Blogs
5. Photo sharing
