MarbleHost.com offers preinstalled scripts for free. It's one of their bonuses for those who use shared web hosting from them. All these scripts can be easily installed via the control panel.
Thinking of sign up with them.

Preinstalled scripts are very common. So common, in fact, that it's almost the norm. cPanel uses Fantasico as well as a cPanel plugin and there's Installatron (I think that's the correct spelling) for Direct Admin. Each will install various forums, blogs, ecommerce, and CMS's.

Keep in mind that I am making no statement for or against the company you mention. I'm merely letting you know that this is a very common feature.

Ya I would have to agree and say that Preinstalled scripts are offered by 90-95% of web hosts. I would not base your decisions to go with that company solely on that offering since it is so common.

Yea most I know just end up using Cpanel as it comes with their hosting provider, I dont see many other types of control panels that have anything more than Cpanel does with Fantastico. Maybe you could narrow it down better between the pricings you will be paying for hosting rather than the CP?

The scripts being shown on the website you mention are the scripts that commonly come with Fantastico that is part of cPanel as several has already mentioned. In fact they are shown on the wesite in the same order as they appear in Fantastico. I am sure that if you were to sign up for an account you will see that cPanel will be what you use to manage your account. This company is not offering anything unique over what the majority of the market is already offering. All things being equal, look for the price deal...

Once in a while you'll come across a webhost that doesn't have cpanel or fantastico. I stopped checking to see if they had cpanel or fantastico a while ago, and when I sign up and see there's no scripts, it's quite a surprise.

It seems like everyone here agrees. I am no different, i will only suggest or purchase webhosting if it included cpanel and scripts. It is incredibly easy for webhosting companies to install them so really there is no reason to sell hosting without them.

Right, otherwise it'd be no sense in it at all. Shared web hosting with free bonuses. MarbleHost.com has provided this solution knowing what they do.

MarbleHost.com provides not only preinstalled scripts for free but domain name for life and WebsiteBuilder for free. It's a good way to attract clients to their services.

I guess your a newbie to the Hosting Industry, coz other wise you wont bother asking this type of question Pre installed scripts come in all types of names, brands and shapes and sizes and almost all the web hosts provide these, so you cannot count pre installed scripts as a special feature

If you decide to go for Marblehost.com shared plan, make sure you've read their TOS and it's you and not the company who's got all the rights for the domain.

There is no free lunch! If it is indeed the case that the host holds the rights to the domain, then 'there is no free domains' either.

In my opinion, you should always pay for your domain outright and have your name and email listed in the registration. Additionally, you should have the ability to login and change your registration, lock the domain, and update nameservers. Without the aforementioned your domain belongs to someone else.

I think that not only few but lots of webhosting companies offers that. At the company you have mentioed more interestig sems responce time guarantee. But at the same time I have seen not a lot of companies with that. for example simplehelix (http://www.simplehelix.com/) offers the same and much more page load time guarantees.
