Open source API

[Casius]

Hello guys,

As we have posted the new blog entry about Host1Free.com open source API development we are calling all developers to join our community for building the biggest free web hosting service that offers API control of all web hosting account.
This is a big task, but we feel very positive getting this to become reality.
Read more about it in the newest blog entry: http://www.host1free.com/blog/host1f...en-source-api/
Also we would like that you would share your ideas about what kind of primary functions should be added firstly and also we are very welcome every developer who wants to get involved in Host1Free.com open source API development.
All this and much more we would like that you would share in this thread.

Thank you!

Hello

Firstly need to make the site available in Russian.
Secondly I hate your hosting control panel (where lately it became impossible to delete them from the scripts or add folders)
Thirdly you need to add Free Hosting Reseller.

I don't agree for Free Hosting Reseller becouse it will be to control harder and usualy none free reseller don't have good support and you will just overload servers
Direct Admin control panel is ok cPanel is better but it cost more
If it can pls enable fopen

I really like this idea. Please count me in but I am not a good API developer or even know some coding of it but I can try and learn new stuffs and contribute my ideas along the way. I could also be a tester of the developing API. I hope that's enough and I know I will also learn from this project. I love your webhosting! I tried so many free hosting and this is the best even though it doesn't use cPanel, it is still better than the rest. So in return I would like to give my service for this project! Just send me PM if I am counted and for details.

Well, I'd like you to make something with the rep system, like when someone reaches a certain amount of rep points they are able to get a better feature to their website (e.g. I would ask for more memory size because of WP).

Guys the main idea about it...Oh hold on.

Let's talk about resellers. I do not understand the point of resellers..Unless they want to charge for free web hosting
The idea of the API is to make as flexible as possible Host1Free.com free hosting. The idea of it is not just to be the ordinary free web hosting, but also as a tool for your local and network activities. In another words if you have something common with online things like social media or other similar things you surely use more APIs than you even imagine.
So, I will post later on the main architecture. The actual model of it. Also what do you think maybe I should create the new section in the forum about the API?
Thank you for the first posts let's keep on brainstorming and we will get really cool thing. More developers will join more quality, flexibility, etc. will be achieved.

Whats the point for this API? Who will use it to control account? Its much easier to use control panel instead of API, you have to be a good programmer to make app that uses API.

Ok, let me draw the idea of free web hosting API.

You probably fed up from FTP client software, things like waiting when connection will be established, etc.

The main concept for the API is that you will be able to get your management even on the desktop without needed to login and stuff.
The good thing about API I think that if you have more than few websites and need to overcome some things like file permissions in your account where you can actually get pictures, content and any other things show on the other websites that are not hosted in Host1Free.
This would be closely related to social networks as you would be able to connect Host1Free directly with Facebook (if you are Facebook developer)...This is the idea which could be very handy to all of us who uses Host1Free. Any other ideas would be really great to hear what actually API could do and how we could get started. Also if somebody feels confidence and have free time we would welcome that person as project manager to manage all the things about it.
