Servers.I am looking to integrate cPanel Reverse DNS api's if available in
PHP to my application.
Also integrate WHCMS billing module in them which would take care of billing
part.
Since the end user would not be aware of any such technical details I would
like to have an ajax based interface for all this.
Also having a drop and drag API as yahoo scripts support them.
This application would also be some thing which would support VLAN tagging
and on top of it back and restore utilities for this.
 This application would be able to create Virtual Machines from templates
and also a GUI for thin provisioning on internet.
That is what I am trying to achieve would PHP be a good choice for such a
setup or Python should be used.
When Xen VM reboots then its domid is not preserved so I have no clue as how
is that going to work in my situation.
