Try Plesk PSA (www.plesk.com).

It automates most any feature you could want to provide without
preventing you from adding your own software to the server too.

Upgrades have always included requests from the users and it keeps on
getting better.

Subject: Building a webhosting server


I've used Sun's Cobalt website hosting platform, and I'm not happy with
it. It's management interface doesn't work properly with Mozilla, and
Sun don't release patches quickly enough, and I can't customise it in
any way without breaking interdependencies.

Now I want to look at building my own web hosting server, on which I can
offer website hosting for my customers. I would like to offer common
options such as FTP upload, perl, python, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL,
mailing lists, email accounts (POP3) and perhaps website traffic
analysis and shell accounts.

All this can easily be done with existing software, much of which comes
standard with RedHat these days. What I'm looking for, though, is some
kind of control panel that allows easy creation of new customer sites,
and allows the customer access to some portions of their site, like
configuring their email accounts, mailing lists, administration of their
databases, and so on.

One option is Webmin, which has some really nifty modules for this kind
of task. Does anyone know of any other kind of panels, or software,
which makes it possible to quickly and simply build and deploy website
hosting platforms?

Alternatively, does anyone know of any good alternatives to Cobalt
boxes?

TIA.
