These days lot of discussions are going on superiority of ‘Softaculous over Fantastico. As Softaculous covers more recent updates it is more favorite of not only the webmasters as a consumers but also of many web hosting companies as providers. As Softaculous has 150 scripts which are dehighlighting the Fantastico which has near about 50 only.

I would like to share some important features of ‘Softaculous’ which keeps it much ahead in the race with ‘Fantastico’

• Has much more scripts than Fantastico
• More User friendly than Fantastico
• Less time consuming Installation
• Ability to Import scripts which are already manually installed
• Ability to install Javascript Libraries
• Ratings from the users who already have used by others are viewable.
• Ability to take backup of applications
• Overwrite option for already existing files.

As a statement from Softaculous, they will keep on adding more software applications into their catalog. Currently shared hosting owners are redirecting to Softaculous on a very large scale.
