Fantastico is one of the features in cPanel that helps you install applications or programs on your account. But on September 17, 2012, Fantastico was replaced by Softaculous. If you still have Fantastico available, then this tutorial will help you. With this third-party software installer, you are able to install WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. Here are the steps to install an application through Fantastico.

• Login to your cPanel account.
• Click on the Fantastico De Luxe icon under the software section.
• It will direct you to the homepage of Fantastico, where you are able to see two sections.
• On the left side, you are able to see the list of software, and on the right side, you have a body description.
• On the left-side application list, select the one you want to install.
• To configure the installation settings, like the installation directory, setting up a username and password, and filling out required or providing other information.
• Once you are done with the details, click on the “Install” button to start the installation process.
• The selected application will be installed on your SiteGround web hosting account, and it takes a few minutes to complete this process.
• The other advantage of Fantastico is that it is designed to update your installed applications on a regular basis. This makes sure your application is up-to-date.
