Not sure what product i need (if any)

Hey, I'm looking to start web hosting and need something that will let my users register and create a subdomain/subfolder of their choice and possibly let them use their own registered domain name. I need to be able to set quotas of sorts and let them each have their own FTP access.. I'm just not sure if any of these products can do this for me? Can they?

Please let me know. Thanks for your time.

in short, yes.

in long, download the GPL version and test it out.

what product can? Virtualmin? Webmin?

Thanks for your reply.

PS: do all these work well on Ubuntu 8.10 Server?

Virtualmin GPL

The documentation suggests 8.04 LTS (Server to use less bw when installing, but the Desktop version works too), but users have reported success with 8.10 as well.

You do not need to install webmin before Virtualmin, as some older pages describes, the current Virtualmin GPL version script installer handles all the installation for you.

Yeah, if you're interested in Ubuntu, 8.04 LTS is your best bet. It's best supported by the installer, and Virtualmin provides a software repository for it. You'll want to use the install.sh script to perform the installation.
