I really want to offer free hosting to my visitors.... im looking for a php script that allows people who have a sub domain log in and edit their web site but one where i can limit the amount of bandwith and space they use... is it possible???

it would be even cooler if i could have it let them log in to their e-mails too but for now the hosting will do!

What control panel are you using?

I have c panel 9

i cant figure out a way to make other accounts with limiter access on there is there away?

Hey.

Its nothing dificult ..! Just login to your whm and use the create accounts feature to create the accounts for subdomain rather than creating them from your cpanel.
From whm you will be able to allocate disk and bandwidth retrictions as you are planning to do so.

I've heard of PHP scripts such as XPanel and all that are able to do this. Once, for a client, I programmed a web-based file manager that limited web space but not bandwidth. Quite easy to do. If you don't mind giving all your users cPanel, just read up a bit on the API and create accounts for every user. However, if you want to go completely web-based (like a geocities knock-off), then expect to spend a chunk of money to do so.

whm??????? whats that?? im sorry im new to all of this and i see nothing that says whm on the panel where do i find it?

ok nm i found it but its not logging me in it keeps making me put in the info which is correct its not saying error just not loging in

Hey toxicsugar,

Do you have your own server or a reseller account on that server.
You will gain access to whm only if you have root or reseller access to the whm.
If you just have cpanel access and then you are trying to limit resources to the subdomains under that cpanel account, then I dont think its possible.
