What will you need to know, do, or have to Run your OWN Website? Website Hosting, a Domain name, an FTP Program, a Credit Card Processor, Member Management Software & A Little Patience.... Read more Below!

• Web Hosting (at least 5gb of web space) that has at least 5 mysql DB's: We Suggest DreamHost or Site5 - two great web hosts that are affordable and give you Lots of space to run your site. The bigger site you plan on having the MORE Server space you'll need; making these Two Great Options: Click here for Dreamhost | Click here for Site5 - There are, of course other options, but these we recommend.
  
  
• An FTP Program - our Management system comes with links to many FTP programs that you can download; you will need these programs to upload your Full photos Sets, Videos, and more. Our Management (admin area) system will allow you to upload smaller images for use on your Tour Page, Banners to place throughout your site, or your Members Home page to let members know what's new; But everything else Should be FTP'd - If you have one great - if not don't worry we'll link you to some - just be prepared to learn how to use FTP to upload your Photos and Videos to your Restricted Members Area.
  
  
• Credit-Card Proccessor - We recommend using the best in the business, CCBill - they manage everything for you, keep track of your members, and they remove subscribers at the end of their subscription period - However to accept VISA may or may not be in your budget. So as an Alternative, we recommend AlertPay - as they are available in more countries - who you use however is up to you.
  
  
• Member Management Software - If you opt to use a Credit Card Processor like CCBill, they Manage your Members for you - Otherwise you will need software to manage your members on your own. Our Pre-built sites come with LockedArea Lite - a free version that is very good - and will allow you to manage your members that use your alternative payment processor. You Can purchase LockedArea Pro if you'd like management with a lil more flexibility. We will consult with you on the best way to go.
  
  
• Lastly, a little patience and some determination. Just because you have a website it doesn't mean you'll make money. It doesn't mean you'll have members right away. No, it takes time ... You will need to be patient enough, and determined enough to keep telling people about your site, and spreading the word about your site, until people decide to join. Some will stay, some will go. Keep building, and keep adding content, and keep advertising and marketing your site, and people will come ... eventually.
