Build Membership Site for free? You got it!

Would you like to build membership site for free?

MemberWing plugin for WordPress just filled in the long standing gap between webmasters interested to build a fully featured membership website and amount of dollars that quest was required to fork out.

Traditionally to create membership website you’d have to buy a piece of software that allows you to manage permissions to access premium content as well as payment processing needs.

MemberWing is the first membership software script that helps you to accomplish all that at exactly zero cost.

MemberWing is actually a plugin for the WordPress (free blogging software). By adding and activating MemberWing for your website or blog – it suddenly makes it a membership site.

Up to 4 levels of memberships (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), SEO optimized functionality allowing major search engines to index predefined parts of the premium areas, automated payment processing with Paypal support – all these features makes it a no brainer for webmasters to try this software as a solution to build fully featured permission based membership site.

MemberWing, as many other free softwares, is supported by the backlinks back to http://www.memberwing.com/ site.

But in case you want to build unbranded version of membership sites for yourself and for your clients – the options are available as well, including flat fee license for unlimited installations.

The cost is zero. The choice is yours. The risk is not.

Why Hostgator’s support absolutely rocks!

Here’s my little experience with HostGator service and support.

Well, let me say first that I moved to Hostgator after finding that someone’s e-commerce site was totally flying in terms of speed of contents delivery and she was hosting it all off hostgator’s lower end shared hosting plans. So I decided to move few of my domains to hostgator and even opened a reseller account with them to get a bit of boost in performance.

Yesterday I was working to update my WordPress Membership Plugin (MemberWing allows to build free membership sites) – and it was supposes to send an email when new user is paid and signed up.

Everything was working but that piece – sending email. It was kinda annyoing to me to deliver software that works but no one get notified that it works. In other words sending email part of script didn’t work. So I decided to blame Hostgator and send them email asking it to fix sending email from PHP. My perception was that their security settings was over elevated. (more…)
