how many websites are allowed?

[kililio]

Hi,

1.question: How many websites creations are allowed  with the "webmarketing" solutions from Business Catalyst

2.question: it's a global membership for every websites created with my BC account or do I need to pay 18 dollars per month for "every single" website created?

They say it replace the 5+ system...I guess it's the 5 website that come with adobe creative cloud membership, but what happen when we used all 5 ?

Thanks

Hi,

1) You can create as many trials site as you require.  The amount of sites you take live is up to you as you'll be billed for them individually. 

2) Again you'll be billed for each live site individually.  If you have a creative cloud subscription you are given 5 "webBasic" sites that you can have hosted within BC as part of your membership.  If needing to upgrade the site plan you'll need to pay for each individual site plan upgrade.

More details: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2152  

5+ system replace means that BC offers an "all in one" solution to a CMS that also offers key features (eCommerce, email marketing, forums, etc) that are usually separate in many other system that you would need to somehow integrate.  BC helps rid of all that by allowing you to deal with just one system for most of your requirements. 

Hope this helps!

wow so if i upload 10 sites for 10 different clients and choose "webmarketing" option i'll pay 18$ x 10 ...180$ per month ?!!!!

That's expensive...

a classic webhost provider would be better for multiple website creation isnt it?

I don't see BC as just your typical webhost provider and the pricing is fixed for quite some time.  Unless you choose the bi-annual (15% off) or annual (10% off).

Nevertheless that is correct as each site you take live what be invoiced individually.  The only exception would be the "5 entitled sites" that are included in a Creative Cloud membership but is restricted to "webBasic" plan. 

Hope this clarifies.

This is not a webhost.

You have a website system, email marketing system (how much do you pay a month for those) with hosting, emails and at that level CRM etc with Adobe running support so you do not have to, regular updates, bug fixes etc you are not having to take care of...

You should not be paying either, you should be charging the clients for their website and service.
