No I mean features, no plan... i forgot to add SSL.
And what else?

**spork** · May 21st, 2002, 10:38

people need very different things for any kind of hosting, paid or free... some only need much space and transfer while some need very little space and transfer but support for all kinds of programming stuff and telnet access... you can´t please everyone...

generally i think space and transfer are quite important... as well as support for php, perl and mysql... subdomains and all the email stuff are good to offer too... those would be the most important things i think... as for operating system i would prefer Redhat or FreeBSD...

**YUPAPA** · May 21st, 2002, 11:24

So do i have everything ppl needs?

**spork** · May 21st, 2002, 11:34

no, but you have the most important things...

**Archbob** · May 21st, 2002, 13:39

Same I need:

at least 100mb space
at least 10GB bandwidth(don't use nearly that much though)

Languages:
PHP/MySQL
SSI(like but not needed)
.htaccess

features:
E-mail boxes and forwarding
subdomains(unlimited)

Other stuff:
Really good support staff

No what? That's the point of my thread!
I want to know what other things ppl wants!
SO what other stuff I am missing?

**curiousity** · May 21st, 2002, 14:35

How about SSH/Telnet

Oopss, sorry I did not read your first post carefully.

You don't intend to offer SSH/Telnet

**Christopher** · May 21st, 2002, 20:11

All I need is...

150MG Space
20GB Bandwidth or more (plan on having a "remotely hosted" website)

PHP
Perl (CGI-BIN)
mySQL (10 Databases)

Thats it I think

**Mika** · May 21st, 2002, 20:19

Yupapa I think you have all the staff. The only thing that might make you lose customers could be your own control panel. Customers demand nowadays at least Plesk...they hate Ensim...many like Cpanel...nobody knows HSphere (although it's great). So when a customer of yours will see his friend's Cpanel...immagine. I don't doubt that you'll make a valid perl cp, but people need the "names"....you know that! Also your prices should be lower as you don't offer a known Cpanel...don't forget that...many will tell you...."hey! the other guy offers me the same with CPanel too!". This is my poor opinion.

**YUPAPA** · May 21st, 2002, 21:21

I am not going to use CPanel or Plesk or Ensim
I am going to write my own (in Perl) because I want to make my hosting unique... and me want to make my control panel different or better than the others! And it really takes me a lot of time to do that.

**Archbob** · May 21st, 2002, 21:26

Do what you want dude, meanwhile, I'll stick to cpanel for hosts.

**guitarnerd** · May 21st, 2002, 23:07

Uhh, why don't you customize a Cpanal control panel then, It is possible.

Yupapa you should have "build your own plan" thing, if you want I'll write it in Java script for you

Just cause I am bored and I need to practice my programming/scripting
