Is there a web based Virtual Machine Manager which is available from Ubuntu
repositories.
I am looking for some thing which  can would be useful for
be web hosting companies.These web hosting companies can buy server space on
one place and they can
sell this server space to one customer who would use this Virtual Machine
etc to host website etc inside a cloud.
The Virtual Machines could be Windows Servers,Solaris servers,Some Linux
servers etc or stuff like that.
I hope I make myself clear.
Let me know if some one has an idea for the same.
I am aware of libvirt but that is not web based thing.


Hi Andreas,

You are correct, libvirt is not a web based application it's command line
based as you say, however it is a set of tools to control virtual machines.
On top of libvirt you can then build other management applications which
make calls to libvirt to do the underlying leg work.

If you look at the libvirt website it actually lists some web based VM
managers built using libvirt: http://libvirt.org/apps.html#web

I'm also in the process of starting a cloud based hosting firm. However we
are looking at using OpenQRM: http://www.openqrm.com/

Another solution we looked at was Convirture:

I'd be interested to hear from any others on the list who are running this
kind of setup for web hosting or VPS provision or even just datacenter
infrastructure. What are you using?

Kind Regards,
Jamie.
