Fantastico is a\u00a0commercial script library that automates the installation of\u00a0web applications to a\u00a0website.<\/strong> These scripts are executed from the administration area of a website\u00a0control panel such as\u00a0cPanel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fantastico’s web site claims 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<\/a> configuration files.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although Fantastico is typically associated with open-source software, a handful of scripts are also available that install commercial products. Once installed, these are available to all of the domains<\/a> hosted by a physical server; such as web site builder SohoLaunch, PerlDesk customer support software, and AccountLab Plus software for interacting with Internet registrars.<\/strong> There are more than 50 applications that have Fantastico scripts associated with them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most commonly added systems include: Web content management system A web content management system (WCMS or Web CMS) is content management system (CMS) software, usually implemented as a Web application, for creating and managing HTML<\/a> content. It is used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents and their associated images).<\/strong><\/p>\n

A WCMS facilitates content creation, content control, editing, and many essential Web maintenance functions. Usually the software provides authoring (and other) tools designed to allow users with little or no knowledge of programming languages or markup languages to create and manage content with relative ease of use.<\/p>\n

Most systems use a database to store content, metadata, and\/or artifacts that might be needed by the system. Content is frequently, but not universally, stored as XML, to facilitate reuse and enable flexible presentation options. A presentation layer displays the content to regular Web-site visitors based on a set of templates.<\/strong> The templates are sometimes XSLT files.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Administration is typically done through browser-based interfaces, but some systems require the use of a client.<\/p>\n

Unlike Web-site builders like Microsoft<\/a> FrontPage or Adobe Dreamweaver, a WCMS allows non-technical users to make changes to an existing website with little or no training.<\/strong> A WCMS typically requires an experienced coder to set up and add features, but is primarily a Web-site maintenance tool for non-technical administrators.<\/p>\n

Shopping cart software Shopping cart software is software used in e-commerce to assist people making purchases online, analogous to the American English term ‘shopping cart’. In British English it is generally known as a shopping basket, almost exclusively shortened on websites to ‘basket\u2019. The software allows online shopping customers to place items in the cart. Upon checkout, the software typically calculates a total for the order, including shipping and handling (i.e. postage and packing) charges and the associated taxes, as applicable.<\/p>\n

Wikis A\u00a0wiki\u00a0is a page or collection of\u00a0Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content (excluding blocked users), using a simplified\u00a0markup language.<\/strong> Wikis are often used to create\u00a0collaborative websites and to power community websites. The collaborative encyclopedia\u00a0Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis.\u00a0Wikis are used in business to provide\u00a0intranet and\u00a0knowledge management systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first\u00a0wiki software,\u00a0WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as “the simplest online database that could possibly work”. Blogs A\u00a0blog\u00a0(a\u00a0contraction of the term\u00a0weblog) is a type of\u00a0website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning\u00a0to maintain or add content to a blog. Photo sharing Photo sharing\u00a0is the\u00a0publishing or transfer of a user’s\u00a0digital photos online, thus enabling the user to share them with others (whether publicly or privately).<\/p>\n

This functionality is provided through both\u00a0websites and\u00a0applications that facilitate the\u00a0upload and display of images. The term can also be loosely applied to the use of online photo galleries that are set up and managed by individual users, including\u00a0photo blogs.<\/p>\n

Cheap web hosting<\/a> is the best place to get reviews for the various webhosts as well as a great place to compare the services they offer. With almost every prominent webhost listed on the website, you really do not have to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
