During the time I ran a web hosting and server administration business, I wrote a server interface to make it easy to make common additions or changes to the FreeBSD server I built for the client. After the server admin was finished I wrote a billing system to handle the book-keeping. This was run using a special compiled installation of Apache web server.

From the beginning, this project was fairly easy. The customer had a multitude of sites that all basically looked the same with minor modifications. Then came the intuitive housing search form. More and more this grew to be a fully functional database driven site that handled both incoming & outgoing emails for requested housing searches. After awhile, we hired on a few more developers as I moved more into a manager position, server administrator & chief technical position for Mr.Messenger.
