Fantastico cPanel Hosting – Blogging Tools

Fantastico is just that, fantastic! Most professional cPanel Hosting providers such as Stallion Hosting, will have Fantastico as part of their cPanel packages. Fantastico can be described as a 3rd-party cPanel add-on that adds a large number of scripts and packages that can be very useful to new and advanced website builders and web hosting users.

Fantastico allows you to quickly install a variety of open-source scripts simply by selecting a script and providing some basic information for each installation as well as the links to the source of the scripts, you can install a script within minutes. Fantastico is designed to be easy to use and it is especially designed to install the latest version of the scripts that are available keeping you up to date with the best developments.

This will be part 1 of Fantastico blog series and I will briefly explain each part of the Fantastico system in a number of posts following this on, but for this first post I will describe the three options available on Fantastico with regards to blogging, so here it goes:

Firstly there is the most popular and without a doubt my favourite blogging platform, WordPress! As you might know from a number of my posts on this blog already, WordPress can be described as one of the most popular if not the most popular and widely used web blogging platforms in the world. Just in case you did not know this blog is based on WordPress and as you can see for yourself it is a user friendly design (that’s the WordPress theme) and the back end user system is also straight forward and easy to use with the idea that there should be no need for a user to have to learn HTML or any other form of website coding.

Other Blogging options that are available on the Fantastico package are:

b2Evolution: A blog script featuring multiple blogs, categories/sub-categories, skins, search function, multiple languages and search engines friendly URLs, learn more here: http://www.b2evolution.net

Nucleus: A powerful blog script featuring multiple blogs, multiple authors, drafts, future posts and bookmarklets, learn more here: http://www.nucleuscms.org

Remember that these above Fantastico Blogging Tools are available on all Stallion Hosting Web Hosting Packages, which can be seen here: http://www.stallionhosting.com/website-hosting.html
