I want to start a free hosting service to some members of my community. Sort of like freewebs etc. Anyone know of a good and fairly cheap script to help me to do this. I want to have my ads forced on the pages but not overly intrusive. Thanks in advance.
Have you seen what the user website would look like? I only saw the registration page...no actual webpages? Thanks for the suggestion
i highly recommend you use http://www.vhcs.net/new/ its the BEST free hosting panel on the www its stable aad has lots and lots of fixes each month -> protection
Thanks Slayer will give it a look ! Do you have a demo of what it looks like (like what you are using it for)? Thanks!
I have cpanel /whm as well on my dedicated, but looking for something to create something like geocities, freewebs etc with forced ads.
Having purchased and run several copies myself... I would have to recommend iPanel. https://www.ihostdev.com/ipanel.html There is also the costlier lPanel: http://www.lpanel.net/ or the free (not as good) clone: http://www.xpanel.com/
i would go with scoopy on that i used it a while ago and its great Gives you everything you need for a free host and its pretty cheap
hello, i just want a clarification, will this site make pages like the one on freewebs when member signs up?
Made you a sample of the page created for our new members: http://scoopy.gethosted.info/ The script can add a header (the banner) and footer (the credit line) you will see in my example. You will also need root access to setup "mod_layout" on the server and to set up the needed cron job that makes this possible.
No... that is on the index page that is created (along with the piece of code that says "Welcome to"). You can create your own index page that gets created when each account is setup by cPanel.
Usually by those adverts placed on the websites. Most free hosts that allow sites without any ads... soon go under. There are also other ways to make money... like upselling them to paid hosting.
oh, is there any script like this one too? i dont have funds at the moment to buy the license hehe and another question - just incase i installed that script and placed my adsense on it, how can i make sure my adsense wont be banned due to fraud clicks or fake traffics? [i mean if ever my member does that violation]
personally I think layered panel is the best. CPanel is too expensive and confusing, the layered panel system is very easy to maintain and your members will find it easier to use. Plus it's apparently easier to edit so you can add like your affiliate links in to the panel or google ads or a popup. More exposure for your affiliate links or ads, I don't think you can do that with Cpanel or Xpanel. If you have the money, I'd go with layeredpanel..just my 2cents.
If you plan to grow I'd say ONLY LayeredPanel? Why? Simple - it's not a "script" it's a complete Os and allows infinite growth. There are sites with >100K users using it and actually it's the only one able to cope with that many users.
