Helloo all,
A while back i bought a lot of Plesk Reseller hosting just for messing around with and hosting a few friends sites.
Now that all thats done ive decided to just give the rest away. So basicly im looking for an automated free hosting panel/software/whatever-you-would-call-it that works with plesk. Im not too pushed about things like ads and the like.

It would be nice if it were free!:)

Thanks

Careful doing that. You will attract some not-so-nice users, like spammers and phisers. I recommend getting ModernBill or AWBS and selling your space. Or just use PayPal subscriptions which is free.

i wont be giving out free email addresses, so that takes care of the spammers but what are phisers?

Well not giving out e-mail will take care of the phisers too. Phising is when you get a spam e-mail that tells you that you need to update your credit card with eBay (or any other service), or something like that. They provide you a URL that looks like the real site but goes to some cheap hosting account somewhere and then accepts their username/password and logs that, and asks for personal data such as credit cards and logs that too. You can usually sniff out phising because they ALWAYS have rediculous typos, and if you hover over the link your client should reveal that you're not really going to the real site in most cases

They could however get a free/cheap e-mail account somewhere else and use your free hosting for the site the links send them to, but I imagine most will want the convenience of everything in one place.

lol thanks!! So i should be safe enough just offering free hosting. Do you know any free hosting panels that work with plesk and windows?

i recommend searching at freshmeat.net and hotscripts.com

I think you'd be better with something like xpanel

I forgot to say, I'm looking fore something that hosts in directories rather than subdomains. So it would be www.blahblhadd.com/yoursite rather than yoursite.blahblhadd.com (oo the patronize-ation :P)

OH!

Plesk supports that already. Just add a domain to your reseller account and go into that domain and click Add Web Users. For ever account you add that way they will get www.domain.com/~username.

Thanks,

Neofree

is there anything that automates that?

There's usually not many free automation software scripts. I don't see why you'd spend money to host free clients either!
