    As mentioned before, Plesk and Hsphere are good choices and run FreeBSD.
    There's also cPanel. Of the three, Hsphere is the only one that is a
    "complete"
    solution that includes integrated billing. Both cPanel and Plesk
    expect to
    be setup with software like Modernbill to deal with automated account
    setups
    and recurring billing. There truly are a dizzying array of other
    packages too.

    Try checking out a forum like http://www.webhostingtalk.com. There
    are A LOT
    of threads comparing systems - the best thing to do once you've read
    a bit
    and checked out the sites is to have a clean box to install on and
    try the demos
    that all the software makers provide (usualy 15-30 days free).
    Install one, play
    around and then try another. You'll probably find one that fits your
    needs
    after checking out the major players.

    Just a FreeBSD note, Hsphere has some issues with FreeBSD 5.x (the
    control
    panel is written in Java and they are not happy with the 5.x
    implementation).
    Psoft (the makers) recommend 4.x for the cPanel server and 5.x for
    the hosting
    servers (need at least two boxes). Or you can run all under 4.x. I
    think that there
    is immenent support for 5.4 or maybe it will be 6 and then the whole
    system
    can use one server. You'll soon see that one of the strengths of
    Hsphere is that
    it is meant to be broken up over sever servers with each server
    providing one
    or more services (DNS, mail, SQL, web, even... ugh... Windows hosting).

    Good luck -
    Best,
    d.
