Thanking you... We are using syscp and it works well. (you will need to modify it to suit your needs, the source code is clean and easy to modify). Any open source software you try, it is not 100% complete (as far as I know, from my experience with open source web panels), so you will have to modify the code. The bad thing with syscp is that dns server is not configurable from web interface (there is a patch, but it allows you to modify DNS only from admin account, which is not good, I think you will need regular users to be able to configure their own dns servers), so this is one thing you must add. I asume you need 3 types of accounts, admin account, reseller account and user account. http://www.syscp.org/ I have heard about syscp and will definitely try it once. But I am not very familiar with coding. Apart of the DNS configurations, do we need to hack the code? By the way, how many virtual domains are you currently managing with syscp?

I did not know that webmin could be used for a web hosting platform. I mean that I have only heard negative comments about it. And I thought that it was over bloated and was full of unwanted services thus making it very insecure. Now that you have mentioned it and corrected my thinking, I will definitely look into it and consider it.

The commercial control panels are appropriate for hosts that are charging some real money for the service. I guess you are correct. The price will be equivalent to less than $9.99 a month. I think VHCS or ISPConfig will serve me good. From their sites, both are only available for Linux based systems. Anyway, I will setup VHCS in a Debian box.

Although, we do not give the users any access to control panels whatsoever. The major thing they use them for is setting up mysql databases, and we make them ask us to do that for them. Since most users don't need to do this, it really isn't much of a support burden. The biggest support burden with users is getting them to figure out how to use their FTP or whatever file transfer software, or publish-shit button on frontpage (thank the maker that MS finally officially struck that product, so we can get away with punting on support of ancient free copies of this. People who can't figure out frontpage don't have any business making websites) Ted ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
