Abstract
A method for establishing a collection of application software programs capable of being hosted by a user. Application kits for software applications are received, each application kit including executable application files and additional application related data. For each software application contained in an application kit, one or more offerings are created, each offering including at least some of the additional application related data in the application kit and pricing terms for hosting of the application, and a server upon which the software application may be hosted is identified. The offerings are published on a computer accessible to the user to thereby allow the user to select an offering and host the software application relating thereto on the identified server. A plurality of offerings may be created for any software application. The offerings may be organized into a plurality of catalogs of related software applications.
