What is Hosting Helper?
Hosting Helper is a web hosting management package.
It is distributed under the GNU GPL (General Public License) Agreement.
This package provides tools to manage many of the aspects of a hosting environment.
It also provides a client utility to reduce the need for staff to perform tasks that a client needs such as managing email accounts.
Hosting Helper will support multiple servers from a single adminstration console and single client console. The system is completely dynamic tracking resource allocations across all managed servers. The system will operate on a single server or a completely distributed network of many machines.
We are currently conducting backend tests to try and find the upper limit of the softwares capabilities.
Running on an MySQL database (4.x or greater recommended) we have setup test beds with 200,000 domain accounts and exceeding 3,000,000 service tickets and had no sign if any performance hits do to volume of the backend database.
We will continue these tests to try and provide accurate information about the capabilities of Hosting Helper.

Because there have been some DNS issues with neko-net.org I have aliased one of my domains to the irc.neko-net.org. If you can't connect using irc.neko-net.org then try using neko-net.red-dragon.com.
