HostMonster Review

Hostmonster Simple Scripts is cPanel tool for fast and simple installing of web applications. Web software included: wordpress, drupal, joomla, phpbb, b2evolution, mediawiki, moodle and lots of others. Simple scripts interface is not like Fantastico. Fantastico de luxe is integrated as cPanel tool and the interface is inside, while simplescripts tool is on their official site www.simplescripts.com. Don’t worry about securuty cause the connection is over SSL (secure sockets layer) (https://). The installer if configured can automatically create new database, set the folder or site where the script will be installed, setup random administrator password or password of your choice. Everything is setup by simplescripts including all files are placed, database tables setup and initial configuration is put. After the application is installed you can access it immediately and begin posting new content on your web site. Installation is very simple and consist of three easy step, it took around five minutes for the whole process. Overall it is excellent tool for installing apps.

Fantastico de luxe is one of the features most web hosting providers offers. Fantastico is commercial addon to cPanel control panel that allows you to easily install popular open-source web applications: Wordpress (blogs), Drupal – Content Management system (CMS), Joomla – CMS, galleries, forums (phpbb, mybb), shopping carts like zencart or oscommerce and many other popular web scripts. Now it is the most popular one-click installer. When you install a script via fantastico everything is automatically setup so you can immediately begin using your website. Databases, tables, default settings, user name, passwords are automatically setup. Other than installation, any support is not provided by Fantastico for the scripts. Developers do not recommend installing via Fantastico De Luxe because the latest version of the software is not always available on this one-click installer. Manual installation may be time-consuming and hard for some people but you know that the latest version is installed with all bugs and features available. Hostmonster do not offer Fantastico to its customers but simplescripts. Simple scripts works pretty much the same way Fantastico does and supports many popular web applications. Installation of scripts is very simple.
