AlternC is a set of open source Web Hosting server management software for Linux/UNIX-like systems, whose aim is to promote self hosting by individuals or small structures, and provide its users with an easy web-based interface to manage a web and mail server (and other Internet-based services). Its main specificity is to provide its users with a non-technical web interface so that anybody can, without specific knowledge, host some web services. It also has some advanced options so that technical-savvy users can still fine-tune it. It also features documentation in French and English. == History == in 2000, the French free hosting provider Altern.org stopped its service after a complaint and a trial against Estelle Hallyday, effectively cutting down 47634 websites.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.altern.org/alternb/defense/ )〕 Later, Valentin Lacambre gave his hosting control panel as free software, hoping that people will take it and be more independent of big hosting structures as his, in favor of free speech and alternative hosting. In May 2001, Valentin's source code was abandoned and a rewrite started by the technical team at (l’Autre Net ) (a non-profit hosting provider organized in as self-managed association), which gave birth to (AlternC ), which wanted to follow the same guidelines as Valentin's panel (mostly on usability and design). As of today, some non-profit hosting providers are using and developing that software suite: Lautre Net, the founder of that project, but also (Globenet ), and other structures in Belgium, Québec and Africa. Some professional web hosting companies are also using AlternC and participate actively to the code, such as (Octopuce ), (Neuronnexion ) and (Webelys ). A poll from 2010 estimated that at least 110 servers were running AlternC, having a total of 3500 accounts, hosting more than 9500 domain names, and 25000 POP/IMAP email accounts, with 2200 domain names and around thousand users from (l’Autre Net ), ''(this poll was only counting people actively helping the project)'' This project is still actively developed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AlternC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
