discuss Self Hosted "For Sale" Parking Scripts

[darb]

What is everyone/anyone using for self hosted "For Sale" scripts?

I was using Domain from @Atta but it isn't maintained any more and attracts spam to an un-usable point.

More recently I was using Domain Parking Script from Gochilla, but they have dropped off the internet. Sadly it was almost a perfect solution for me except for a couple of points, no sender IP capture and no effective spam control. I will probably just pay for some custom coding on it, unless I can find an active solution.

Basically I am looking for something simple, basically a glorified contact form to capture contact information from any interested parties.

Apart from the script itself.
We should also consider which control panel we are going to use and how we import the domains into control panel. I am sure you will not want to do it one by one manually.

Some of the paid control panel charge you per month depends on number of domains on your server and it can be very expensive.

So, If you plan to rent a VPS and self-host your own, you may want to use a free control panel. I suggested you to use virtualmin as your control panel. Virtualmin is one of the most powerful free to use control panel for web servers.

Virtualmin also have a powerful API which enabled you to do some bulk add jobs with it. I have developed my own software using the API. It allowed me to bulk add domains as alias (add-on domains), bulk adding txt records for all domains, etc. I search for such solution for years but I can't find any of them and therefore I develop my own software.

Hope this information can help the newcomers,

I installed virtualmin and removed. It doesn't allow some customizations and some works not automated. Ispconfig is more robust and usable than virtualmin and is fully compatible to debian.

I am using Virtualmin with Debian 10 and it's working well without any problems.
I used Ispconfig many years ago, I would say Ispconfig have a more friendly interface but when it come to functionality, Virtualmin won.

A good topic for another thread; this is a specific topic about a landing page.

I was previously running a WP domainer add on from HTMLpie (highly recommended), but have moved towards the KISS principle.

With one simple php script, I can host it on a 256 meg VPS; point the dns to the IP address and done; cheap, fast, isolated and secure.

I am running a separate main "marketing" site and running another public ccTLD domain sales site, got those based covered.

Not interested in banner ads, they are cheap looking, or any more work or time; there are only so many hours in a day, this is a sideline for me.

Have you tried wp multisite? Probably it is what you need.
