Hello,
I am about to offer a free hosting service, and I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of how to display ads on their web pages automatically.
The problem I have is that I offer paid web hosting on the same server, therefore the script cannot be placed in the skeleton directory, unless it can differentiate between the free accounts and paid accounts.
I am willing to pay for a script to be made via paypal.

You can run 2 apache's tho, shouldnt be that hard.

I wonder why you want paying & free customers on the same box, free customers can be a security risk tho and they dont need the same resources as your normal paying customers

Hello,
Thank you for your concern but it is a deal between someone I know. I am offering free accounts for their web designers.
Is there no way of doing this by a script instead of 2 apaches, I dont really want to do that.

get iPanel.... then install Mod_Layout and mod_rewrite on your server...

That'll be the best / easiest way to do it... (I run iPanel for my free hosting company and have forced ads on the free accounts... -- 900+ accounts going strong now ;))

I have cpanel. Can it still be done?

I use cPanel/Fantastico/RVSkins as well not to mention php4 and php5 ;)

Is mod_rewrite also needed in order for iPanel to run??!
By the way, with iPanel and Mod_Layout installed, is there an option to also rotate the ads/banners being displayed in those free hosted sites?

I'm cracking my head trying to search for more info in this particular area. I see that PhpAdsNew offer the feature of rotating ads/banner but would it also work in the case of free hosted site with forced ads? as I ask for help n guide in another thread (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=496633&page=3&highlight=iPanel)

Hopefully some kind soul could help

Thz in advance for your kind help.

for iPanel to work correctly, I beleive you only need mod_layout installed... I dont know why I said Mod_rewrite (maybe it was because I just installed it for my file sharing site)...
