Multiple Installations
Hosting multiple sites with a Fantastico enabled Host can save you time and money. It is not uncommon for some providers to charge a yearly fee of $9 or more to access just one of these pre-installed scripts. Installing all of these scripts without Fantastico can run upwards of $360 year on top of hosting fees.
Multiple scripts can be installed to different directories. It is possible to Host one or many websites simultaneously on one account. You are only limited by the amount of web space and bandwidth purchased.
But one word of caution, some web host do not properly upgrade scripts with current versions, which can be a security risk. With programs like Wordpress this may not be a problem if you add the automatic upgrade plug-in when installing the sortware.So before buying make sure scripts are updated frequently.

- Thank you for the explanation of Fantastico. I had been told it would be helpful with Wordpress, but I did not really understand what it was. Helpful.
