Help Creating a Community

Kind of like a myspace or geocities "free web hosting" thing

[W32dotWorm]

I've been searching this forum for template editors,wysiwyg editors and I've tried a couple based off the posts FCKeditor (not bad but it don't work on my servers..don't know why-I tried it on both windows 2k3 running apache-locally, & FreeBSD Unix running apache-across the wan) Anyway...I guess my syntax is wrong.

Does anyone know what I should be looking for (like what's it called)-I don't know the word for this so I'll describe what I'm trying to accomplish-

I want to create a community where people can host their web pages for free..the EU should be able to self register-and create a dir with a certain predefined size limit
(i.e. example.com/FreeWeb/uname/)and then choose from several templates and web based edit them (this is why I thought wysiwyg in the first place)
I'm thinking I should be able to do this with a script but I'm concerned with security -(skiddies defacing/deleting etc.)

Like geocities or myspace or others out there-obviously my interest is shameless advertising and being able to pay for school(I'm going for Computer Science)

I'd like to have the users be able to blog or have their own little bbs/forum 'cept I keep thinking that a bbs might eat up bandwidth.

I've got 10gb disk space/500gb transfer per month so logically the more users that register the greater bandwidth will be consumed based on the content not to mention what ever bandwidth cost incured by external links to the hosted pages.

I'd appreciate your contributions

It is quite possible that you may not find one program to take care of all your needs. You may need to use one application for feature A and another for feature B.

The main problem is getting everything to interact and work together. When setting up something like this it is important to allow users to use all services/features with only one password. You may need to work out ways to make your applications co-exist together.
