I create and sell business software for writing invoices and managing customers. It is also available for rent and I use the following stack for my own cloud:

Debian, KVM, Apache, MySQL (with Percona for clustering), GlusterFS, rSync, HAProxy, PHP, jQuery

I actually own 3 servers :) I know, it's super boring, but this stack has only failed me once in about five years.

Yes, in my opinion this stack has helped me a lot in earning a living with my company because it just works and saves me time to do other things that earn money.

Can you share me the details of your service? I need simplest solution for Customer registering order, Verifying order against stock availability to create invoce and delivering it. An affiliate/reference management will be plus.

You can take a look: https://www.open3a.de The software is mostly in German, so I'm not sure if it's a fit ;)

Great, yes It is not fit for my needs. Still a good product. As it is open source, you should make a github repo and invite contributors for the global translation module.

Yes, I could do that, but I could not support the users of e.g. a spanish version because my spanish is quite poor. This is why I settled for the german speaking market. That's Austria, Switzerland and Germany. Still enough money to earn :)

You really don't need to support any one. It is an OSS none can blame if you don't fix his issue. All you do is just invite him to contribute changes they want ;)

Think it like, I am an Indian and want this software in Hindi/Gujarati/Tamil. What I will do is grab your global English file, Translate the appropriate part of strings to my choice of language and push those changes to your software. which means user who are capable will support ecosystem.
