Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Software and Control Panels : I will create a WEB HOSTING SOFTWARE (My new project)

[hostmaster2k]

It will be CGI
Features:
-Automatically create cgi-bin with full cgi capability when the user signs up (Your server must support cgi)
-FTP Access (Anonymous FTP or Dedicated Linux server required. Maybe Windows as well) (MUST BE LINUX) I don't know how to create one for NT.
-Subdomain (username.yourdomain.com) or directory (yourdomain.com/username) <Wild card must be enabled for subdomain>
-Browser upload (cgi will also work <ONLY IN CGI-BIN>)
-Stats(Number of hits your site get)
-PHP (Your server must support PHP files)
-ability to ban people from your sub domain site
-your users will be listed in Top 50
-Able to put or get rid of ADs for your users
-password can be emailed to user if they lose it automatically
-User account can be modified anytime


Anything else?
It will take me a while to do this
because I'm busy with school works

This is not HOMEFREE nor community weaver

This is my latest project
I will make this opensource
Any suggestions or ideas?

How about auto creating MySQL db when clients submitted a form to ask for it??

[hostmaster2k]

I may do that
I don't know how to right now
but I'll learn it =D

Good luck for your project...

Let me know when it is done. Kind of interested...

I second that.

How about:
>>ability to edit that htaccess stuff on UNIX via the web.
The .htaccess file stores thing like customer error messages, login info etc.
>>Ability to edit ASP via the web.

..and if I get any ideas, I tell you.

to be honest, using linux, it isnt too difficult, just use the exec() func in PHP to create accounts, MySQL dbs, dirs, everything
