Webhosting & Hosting Reviews

I would like to ask you what software I need to control VPS - stop it when it expires the owner’s account and he must pay agan to use it.
Software must work with VMware, Solaris conteiners (xVM server), Virtuozzo and etc.
What software for billing the VPS can you recommend me?

Is there a second way to control the access to the VPSs? Can I install hardware firewall before the servers witch host VPSs and install billing software on that firewall so when the owner don’t pay for the VPS the firewall cuts the access to the VPS.

Please explain me in that case what software I have to use.

1. the cheapest VPS control panel i know is hypervm, although it doesn’t support VMware, it only support xen and openvz (open source version of virtuozzo). The task of shutting down the connection can be done from the control panel. you can use clientexec or whmcs for billing your clients.

2. Well, the other way is manually create start and stop the VPSs - when the billing software show me a message that the owner didn’t pay for the VPS I manually to stop the VPS - very hard way.

Does anybody have a better idea?

3. The cheapests are free and in open source.

By the way there is no such thing as a “hardware firewall”, ALL OF THEM are in fact using NetBSD/FreeBSD/Linux and hide that fact.

You don’t need to firewall the VPS, when they can simply be shutdown by your control panel when they expire. All modern VPS control panels, including the ones you could find directly in Debian, will have this (very basic) feature.
