Do you have Fantastico? If not why not?

Is anyone else as much in love with Fantastico as me? If your not familiar with this hosting application then you really are missing out. How many times have you spent hours or days trying to install some script that everyone else has but you can get it to work on your host? Well you don’t have to worry anymore as this application will do all of the hard work for you. Simply login to Fantastico and pick the application you want and this software will install the script and make sure it works for you. There are lots of open source and free applications to choose from:

Blogs

• b2evolution
• Nucleus
• WordPress

Classifieds

• Noahs Classifieds

Content Management

• Drupal
• Geeklog
• Joomla 1.5
• Joomla
• Mambo
• PHP-Nuke
• phpWCMS
• phpWebSite
• Siteframe

As you can see there are more than enough programs there to keep you busy and i don’t even have all of them on that list. Check it out on your host when you have a chance!

Hosting in the the real world?

One of the weirdest things that i have noticed over the last few is how the whole web hosting market has moved into the mainstream of the popular conscious. This is mostly evident when you watch the super bowl and see an advert for Godaddy.  One question i have always had though is what percentage of people who see these promotions even know what web hosting is let alone ever want to buy it? I mean its a pretty specialised thing, unless you are a real net nerd like myself and are thinking about building websites all the time. Still i keep seeing billboard signs for Godaddy on the highways too, what do you guys think of all this?
