HostBuilder - FAQ
HostBuilder FAQQ: What does HostBuilder do exactly?
A: HostBuilder is a web hosting system designed to start a web host like Geocities or Tripod. HostBuilder functions as the system which controls account creation, account management, and allots web space and bandwidth to individual users.
Q: Why should I buy HostBuilder?
A: If you're planning on starting a web host, making some money, doing some business, and learning how to host people and the responsibilities involved, HostBuilder is just for you. You should buy this wonderful product offering so much power into one little easily-manageable system.
Q: How does HostBuilder differ from a popular name-brand control panel like cPanel or Plesk?
A: HostBuilder is a self-sufficient system which doesn't require shell access or any special packages besides PHP and Apache. cPanel and Plesk as well as other web hosting control panels all require installation on a server with root access and specific packages and software to be installed as well. HostBuilder may not provide everything seen in a web host (such as MySQL databases, FTP accounts, e-mail, etc.) but you can provide a fully-functional web host customized the way you want.
Q: If I pay for HostBuilder, how will it be a great investment?
A: Simple. Let's say you pay for HostBuilder ($49.99 $24.99!!!/copy) and you want to make money, you can set up an advertisement publisher account with Google AdSense, AdBrite, Clicksor, or any internet advertising publisher. Then you can force advertisements on customers' websites and after a while, you will make that money back and profit! You can also set up paid hosting to make even more profit. In the long run, it will be a well-thought decision and investment for your web host.
Q: What do I need for HostBuilder to work?
A: HostBuilder needs an Apache web server (which comes with most Linux/Unix-based web hosting) and PHP 4 or above. Nothing else is required.
Q: What are some unique features in HostBuilder?
A: HostBuilder has many unique features separating it from the crowd of web hosting tools. HostBuilder can force advertisements on users' accounts (collectively or individually selected), monitor bandwidth and suspend accounts until the bandwidth will be reset, allow changes in individual account features (i.e. web space, bandwidth, file sizes, etc.), allow limits on files and directories on accounts, automate the web hosting process (e.g. user signup, confirmation e-mail, login, etc.), log user actions, and much more!
