In our university we want to create simple web hosting for our students. Our web hosting is supposed to provide following features:

Every student has it's own folder where he can upload his website

One web site per user

Each student has a limit of 100Mb of disk space in the server

Server supports PHP+MySQL

Students can access their folder via FTP and only have access to their own folder

Could you please propose any free application(s) which could help us in order to organize this kind of web hosting in our Ubuntu server?

Thank you!

Way to many steps to explain, but here http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3

This is the easiest method since you need to know almost nothing to get everything up and running. Just follow the tutorial.

After you get everything going just setup your DNS and then your sites and users. I usually use ssh/sftp over ftp since it is encrypted, but either should work once you create an account. They should also all be in virtual hosts so no need to worry about wrong permissions. Just make sure you keep them in the "jail" when creating the user account. This will all make more sense once you play around with ISPConfig
