Any open source scripts for a free hosting business?

[freerackspace.org]

I am planning on using xPanel or WHMAP (unlikely) however do any of you know of a free script that intergrates with PayPal that does the job?

Thanks,

Belly.

I think there was one called MyRed, from myLounge, that allowed you to offer services from your site... domain1.yoursite.tld, domain2.yoursite.tld. Allowed users to sign up freely, with a subdomain of their choice. Don't know if this is what would fill your needs, as I haven't seen it 'round lately, and don't know if it offered a payment form, but I do have an older copy somewhere, I believe 1.4. If you would like to look at this free set of scripts, I can dig it up and post a link, or email it to you.

Well, why not use PayPal's merchant tools? They work pretty well also.

edit: The script doesnt actually need to intergrate with PayPal because its a free webhost :blush:

try autohost 2 it can be used as free or with paypal integation, about 26 bucks us

I would just do some coding myself. It's fairly easy to generate a paypal button and store a record in a MySQL database. Then, it's fairly easy to take the PayPal callback, and process the account.

use vhcs from vhcs.net

XPanel is great, no free script out there compares to it. I give my strongest reccomendation that you go with XPanel, it takes a while to setup, but it automates everything about your free hosting; sign-ups, upgrades, monthly payments, etc.

look at this screeny of vhcs http://www.vhcs.net/vhcs_v_3.jpg xpanel gets no where near it

[decodes]

here is one free script but it will only run on dedicated erver
WHT

I just downloaded VHCS v2.2. I havent installed it yet though. I have a question, my hosting business offers both free and paid accounts. Will VHCS attempt to setup all accounts as if they were free accounts? Or is this something that can be set manually?
