well, we do need those features, such as php, etc. its basically going to be a website, with templates for the client to choose from. the other code, is to communicate with the main server, to let the repository server know the client website is online. The client will be using DDNS, and sending the IP address, when the webserver starts up. Its this functionality that we want to put into the source code.
