Dear Member,
I like to setup an commercial web server based on Linux Apache.

What sales/administration component could I use? In combination with witch Linux distro?

Thank you.

Hello and welcome to LQ, hope you like it here. Please be specific about what your goals are ("sales/administration component" is too generic) and tell us what you've researched yourself already.

I am going to sell webspace. I want a business as a hoster. For the technical part usually a Apache Linux Server a used. But it had to be extended with a sales/administration module. The sales module should be visible at the home page. With the sales module you should be able to select a domain and buy webspace. Also an administration module is needed for sending bills etc..

I'd rather you'd not.


That may be so and with all due respect: the questions you ask (and the way in which you do) doesn't give me any reason to trust you actually possess the required knowledge and practical experience (let alone have the business acumen or understanding of risks) to manage something even marginally profitable. This obviously shouldn't keep you from trying anyway (as for example some people on say WHT show ;-p).


See for example https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WebHosting and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compar...control_panels and use your favourite search engine and look for "web hosting reseller software" or equivalent. Ask detailed questions if unsure.

Thank you for your answer. I might come back to it later. I have carried out marketing research and found a niche market for ISP.

Thank you.

Juan
