The Webhosting Component for Joomla! 1.0.x is a component licensed under the GNU General Public License to feature and sell hosting products, services and information on a joomla-based website. Customers have the ability to order hosting plans, services and information and are guided through the ordering process. An availability- check keeps track wether the chosen domain is free for purchase or already in use by someone else. The customer can select either bank collection, bank transfer or paypal for payment. From the backend the administrators can manage hosting plans and hosting features and can access those product/ feature categories in the backend where a wide variety of settings can be adapted. The component is designed to be used with the free Control Panel Softwares VHCS2 and IspCP Omega but can also be used without this option. When VHCS2 or IspCP Omega is in use the orders are directly saved into the Control Panels database and can be activated by one click.
