I am the main developer of ehcp, Easy Hosting Control Panel

Easy Hosting Control Panel designed for hosting of multiple domains on single machine.It uses LAMP(LinuxApacheMysqlPhp).Its aim:easily installable,easy usage, non-complex,functional.

Why use a control panel? Because hosting a domain in an ubuntu/linux system requires many settings to be done. hosting control panel makes these tasks easy, with webbased interface.
hosting means putting web pages on the internet for general use, as you do now..

ehcp is the first control panel in this field with its unique features such as: complete php based, object oriented, opensource and free. even install is using php, so it is extremely easy to learn and extensible..

There are many free hosting control panels, but none of them have these features. some have non-opensource code, some other then php, some is not object oriented..

ehcp is in beta stage. there are many things to do. but the main skeleton is built in a straight forward way.

ehcp hosting control panel primarily supports ubuntu, tested on kubuntu 6.06lts,
but virtually work on other linux distributions with apt-get installed as well.

currently it supports linux'es only with apt-get.

in future, i will also add a feature so that it will detect and install apt-get automatically if not present. this is not the case now.

but. the control panel will always be focused and tested on ubuntu.
Ubuntu will be the primary platform for it.
in fact this is natural because Ubuntu is so easy to maintain...

you can find demo at: http://www.ehcp.net/demo
from nowon, this demo is realdemo, that is, as you create your domain, it is really active !
test your domains here, see working... then, dont foget there... :)

Hello I was just wondering if this is also useful for hosting 1 domain on a Ubuntu server or its is only useful in hosting multiple domains.

[bvidinli]

yes,
it is usefull also for hosting only one domain on an ubuntu server.
because, it also installs/configures emails, ftp and so on...

and, one important thing:
from now on:
Free installation on your server,
free limited support *
* support in 6-48 hour, not guaranteed
to install onto your server, please contact us !

[ckennow]

As one who is not quite satisfied with ISPConfig I am anxious to see the first stable version of this. I wouldn't mind testing this package for you once i know I have my linux box up and running properly. Perhaps make a howto for Perfect Gutsy Server + EHCP I would jump right on it. and if your lucky I would be willing to donate some money to the continuation of your package as soon as tax returns come, in february.

Is it possible to set this up if the webserver is Lighttpd? I find apache to be a bit annoying and sometimes hard to configure, plus Lighttpd has native support for storing domain names in a MySQL database.

Also, can this be installed even if you don't have a DNS server installed?

[bvidinli]

ehcp normaly installs apache and bind/dns server,
this means, even if you dont have dns installed, ehcp installs it for you.
if you dont want to use dns, you simply dont use or stop bind,
or even you can disable dns install part of ehcp, by little php.

ehcp normally runs with apache, and designed to run with apache.
but,
ehcp in fact stores almost everything in myql tables such as ftp users, emails,
if ehcp had lighthttpd, then it was very usefull because no daemon is needed...
i mean lighthttpd is more compatible with ehcp, then apache, apache is something hard to implement in ehcp/server environment,
But, since it is widely used and well known, i choosed it as default/only web server in ehcp.. and coded to be used with apache..


if you want to use lighthttpd with ehcp, you need to do some php coding in ehcp.
manually remove apache and apache related codes from ehcp.
i may help you in doing this, but i cannot deal with this myself, since i am focused in developing ehcp so that it is usefull in general, in public...

anyway, ehcp is very flexible, and can be adapted to many tools, servers, systems..
ehcp is apt-get based, so, any program that debian/ubuntu has can be installed in server...

have a look at install_*.php files..

ask here if you have other questions..

[bvidinli]

new features:
* Easy Script installs (one-click installs)
* custom http
* custom dns
* subdomains
* password protected domains
* email forwardings
* domain transfer to another user
* webftp (net2ftp)
* multiple templates
* security, installer improved


Existing features:

* Mangement of :domains, dns, email, ftp, mysql, phpmyadmin, webmail (squirrelmail), resellers, panelusers,
* Opensource, GPL, full php, object oriented, modular, easily modifiable/extendable design..
* server backup/restore,
* Different Menus for Server Admin, Reseller, domain admin
