History: Fantastico Installation

            __Installing Tiki via Fantastico__



!Background on Siteground
Siteground.com is a typical Fantastico host and one of the ((tw:Tiki friendly hosts)) so it is used an an example for this documentation. All other Fantastico hosts will be very similar. Shared hosting provides mainly a inexpensive, easy hosting service for low traffic wikis. Their customer service is very good, and their interface is user friendly, but their servers are heavily loaded and sometimes tiki ((performance)) is kinda slow. Overall a good bet for a starter wiki host. 

* Includes CPanel and Fantastico - includes installation through fantastico and webanalysis and other tools through cpanel


!Installation
