anyone know where to find many free hosting scripts? not like a site with all of them on it, but maybe a company that provides freeware ticket systems and other hosting scripts..

http://www.scriptlocker.com ?

I don't know of any site that lists resources for web hosting. As for ticket systems, there are quite a few free ones at http://www.hotscripts.com and www.cgi-resources.com under the "customer support" category.

Good luck.
