The WSS 3.0 Hosters Solution Kit is available as an installable package that can be configured with WSS V3. It leverages a number of custom components that were built for WSS V3.
Forms-based authentication module that extends the SQL Server membership provider and scopes users down to the individual site.
Web services that provision WSS sites as well as both Active Directory and SQL Server users.
Web parts that facilitate adding new users and changing user passwords.
HTTP module that redirects a subdomain such as: http://blogs.intranet.fabrikam.com to http://intranet.fabrikam.com/blogs
The Solution Kit is composed of two integrated applications.
The first is the Solution Configurator which is a tool that a Hoster would use to configure solutions based on templates.
The second is the Starter Kit which a Hoster's end-customer would use to build a site based on solutions that were created though the Solution Configurator
