    Hi all,

    I got myself a few servers currently sitting there running FreeBSD, Apache, blah blah blah.

    I am not using them to their capasity, so i wanna set-up some for of hosting business to earn abit of extra cash on the wastage that i am not currently using.

    So my question is what software is the best to install? What do i need to run a automated hosting environment. Must faciliate the whole sign up, recurring payments, user admin etc etc

    Thanks

    Get a cpanel. That can boost your business up :)

    Get some reference here: http://cpanel.net

    Also, google "WHMCS" for a automatic billing software!

    Thanks. I notice that cpanel has a WHM as well. So should i just go for cpanel?

    i need to automate the whole process of billing sign up and hosting management. Will cpanel with WHM be enough or will i need cpanel and WHMCS?

    You need a combination of the following:

    WHM + cpanel (with fantastico) + WHMCS (in order to create accounts automatically and support/billing)
