What’s about Fantastico?

Fantastico is a well known name for automated script installer.

The web application is developed by NetenBerg and is so widely used that more than half of the hosting companies I knew have Fantastico included in their shared hosting plan. The auto installer script can be only executed from hosting control panel like cPanel and Plesk.
