Further researching this. We can install virtualmin on a vps to be a free whm/cpanel solution.
http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html
for now we can forget the auto install junk. mysidia takes less than 5 min to install and can be managed by admin/moderators or even other community members that know how.
For these services, hosting/installations. We will use the post to host model. Or rather each post gets you a credit/point. You can then spend points at the shop for services. Hosting/Installs/code/art/members etc... This could really strengthen the community and hopefully advertisements on forum would cover all server costs. Each member can offer operate their own shop/services.
Project budget would start at 5$ a month for vps. Which I am sure will scale quickly but won't be a problem. then we would need a domain. so 10$ + 5$ = 15$ start up plus we need members.
So who is interested in joining the moderating team?
And we also need to find clients or get a petition to see if anyone would actually use this service like they did with my adopts.
My goal is to keep ads off myadopts sites and only on the forums.
And the forums should stay active as members will be using points to trade for code/ installs/ and art with other members.
