skillset

skillset is a modern interface solution for hosting management. this interface has modules for organizing domain orders and domain zones, webspace orders, virtuell server orders, as well as complete management of users and payment including a billing system.

the development started some years ago and the final version was mostly finished. but then we decided to take the chance and rewrite some parts in better, modular code for easier development in the future.

skillset includes a module for forms with classes for every field type that is required. this module also does the validation and sql query handling. these fields are realized in html5 as well as their validation.

like all modules the domain module works in real time for registration with an api interface to our domain registrar. for zone handling there are 2 modes available, one simple mode and one advanced mode (in this mode you can set every zone entry yourself).

virtual server is one of the biggest modules, because all options are available in skillset itself and not in an extra interface like in webhosting with ispconfig. on the host run XEN and debian. a daemon manages the virtual servers and tasks. every virtual machine uses its own kernel and even tests with windows servers worked out well. the installation from distribution like debian work with debootstab or other programs for up-to-date installations. So no old packages are used.
