Fantastico is an auto-installer script used by several WordPress hosting providers. It is similar to the other installer scripts in this guide and offers an easier way to quickly install WordPress. First, you need to login to your cPanel dashboard and scroll down to software and services section, and there you will find the Fantastico icon. Some hosting providers are still using an older version of Fantastico. In this tutorial we will be showing you screenshots from Fantastico F3 version.
Basic installation steps are the same, and you should be able to easily follow them. On the main Fantastico screen, you will see a list of web applications on your left. You need to click on Blogs, and there you will find WordPress listed among many other applications.

First thing you need to do is download the latest version of WordPress. WordPress package comes as a Zip file. You need to unzip the file and inside it, you will find a WordPress folder. This folder contains all the WordPress files you need to upload to your web server. Now go ahead and connect the FTP client to your hosting server.
Once connected, use the FTP client to upload the WordPress files from your computer to your website server. If you want to install WordPress on your root domain name like example. On the other hand, If you want to install WordPress in a subfolder like example. Once you are done uploading WordPress, go to your hosting control panel to create a database. We will be showing you how to do that using the cPanel.
If your hosting provider has a different control panel then you just need to look for MySQL databases. Rest of the settings will be quite similar. You will see a field to create a new database. Now that you have created your database, MySQL still needs a username.
This username will have access to perform actions on the database. This new user still does not have access to the database you created earlier. For that, you will need to add the user to the database and give them permissions to perform all actions.
Select the database user you created from the dropdown menu next to user, then select the database, and click on the add button. You will be now asked for the privileges you want to allow this user. Select all privileges and click on the Make changes button.
You will need that information later. If it is in the main domain, then enter your domain name in the browser window, like yoursite. You will see the language selection page.
You can choose a language here so that the rest of the installation is displayed in your own language. You can also use English for now and then later change the language.
