AlternC

Hosting services software suite

AlternC is a set of user-friendly mass hosting management software. It is easy to install and based on open-source software only. AlternC is GPL Licensed.

AlternC includes an automatic installation and configuration system, and a web-based control panel to manage users' accounts and web services (e.g. domains, emails, ftp accounts, statistics...)

AlternC is based on the Debian GNU/Linux system ('Sarge' version), and it requires other softwares such as Apache, Postfix, Mailman ...

It also contains a documented API, so you can customize your web panel quickly and easily.

AlternC was initially written in French. However, the debian package includes an English version. The translation in any language is possible. Volunteers are welcome ! (See the internationalization page). The documentation is only available in French (so far).

AlternC has been created by the system administrators of Lautre Net, members of Lautre Net and is currently developped by some organizations such as Eitic, Koumbit and Metaconsult.

The Latest Version of AlternC

The latest version is available on the download page. It is already used by many hosting service providers, which shows how stable it is. Stay tuned with the mailing lists or join in on Freshmeat.

An AlternC demo is available on our development server. The login is 'admin' and the password too. Please note : This server is deleted regularly.
