SRW
= SiteReplicator Wizard?
|
| Are
there any benefits to hosting the software with you? |
| Yes.
If you don't have a website or are going to use SRW on a new
domain, then you may want to have us host it. Our servers work
perfectly with the software. It is much easier to install, support
and maintain our programs when they are installed on our high-speed
servers. Our prices are low because we don't need to make money
on hosting. Our goal is to provide the best environment for
our software to run. Also, we will be offering free products
that we can only install on our servers. |
 |
| Are
there any ongoing costs after I purchase SiteReplicator Wizard? |
|
No! Once
you purchase the software, there are no monthly charges, no
recurring fees and no maintenance fees. It's yours forever.
(Excluding optional hosting)
|
|
|
| Can
I install the software myself? |
|
While
you might think it would be easier and less costly for us
to have you install it yourself, it actually isn't. Since
we designed the program, we know know exactly how it works.
Installing scripts such as this is not like installing software
on your PC. Every server is configured differently and the
software is not installed one certain way. We've installed
it on many servers and know how to troubleshoot problems and
to configure it optimally. Teaching you how to install the
program, or supporting it after you've created problems, would
take us hours or days to fix. If we didn't install it, we
would have no way of knowing whether it was done correctly,
therefore couldn't support it.

|
I'm
a webmaster and can copy sites myself. Why do I need this?
|
|
The simple
answer is, to save you time and money. SRW automates tasks
for you and so much more. For a more specific answer, view
our real
life example.
|
|
|
|
Can
I use Frontpage or other programs to create my master websites?
|
|
Yes! You
can create your master websites any way you want.
|
|
|
|
I don't have a website or know about hosting,
can I still use SRW?
|
|
Yes! Anyone
can use SRW regardless of experience. It doesn't matter whether
you have a "Home Page" of your own or not. SRW runs
in the background and no one knows it's there. Of course,
to use SRW you will need a master website to replicate. If
you can't create one yourself, there are lots of people that
can do it for you. In many cases, our customers replicate
websites they've received with a resellable product they've
purchased.
|
|
|
|
Will
my customers be able to edit or add things to their sites?
|
|
No. You
replicate websites via your admin center and can also update
them from there. The benefit of SRW is that customers don't
know their site is being replicated with a program like this.
They'll think you've spent hours creating & customizing
it! SRW can be your "secret weapon" to earn profitable
hosting fees, just as it is ours.
|
|
|
|
Can
the software be installed on a website form a "free host"
company?
|
|
No. Free
host companies usually don't offer the features or resources
needed.
|
|
|
|
Is
this a CGI script that you upload to the server that hosts
my site and will you need my passwords?
|
|
Yes, this
is a CGI script that we can either install on your current
website or a new one that we host. We will need FTP access
to the website to install the software.
|
|
|
| What
browser can I use to run the programs? |
|
To manage
the software, you should a version 4 or higher Java enabled
browser. (i.e. Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer or AOL.
(3.2+ Browsers should work too)
|
|
|
|
How
do I track sales from each replicated site?
|
|
This is
not MLM a self-replicating or order tracking program. It is
more flexible. Depending on your marketing plan, you can design
replicated sites to handle orders several ways. Below are
the two most common, the first being the recommended:
1.
Customers handle their own orders: You replicate and host
the site and then your work is done. Customers promote their
website and fulfill their own orders.
2.
You handle all orders: You replicate and host the site,
your clients promote it, and all orders go to you. By including
a customer ID in each order page, you will easily know which
reseller to credit for the sale. These sales are tracked by
you.

|
|
Can
I run SiteReplicator Wizard on more than one domain?
|
|
To run
on more than one website you will need to purchase additional
licenses at a discount. See our reseller
licenses for more information.
|
|
|
|
What
is the "cron" function you mention in the server requirements?
|
|
Cron
is a function on a Unix web server that enables programs/cgi
scripts to be run automatically at a certain time each day,
week or month. With SRW, cron is used to send automatic email
renewals and auto-delete websites. Some host providers do
NOT allow you to run "cron jobs" on your web site.
Ask your host provider's tech support if you are allowed to
run a "cron job" on your web site. If not, we have a built
in feature you can use that will perform the function of the
cron with a push of a button from your admin panel. (NT cannot
run CRON and must use this feature)
|
|
|
| Can
I edit or change the SiteReplicator Wizard program?
|
|
No, the
script source code, html files or images cannot be changed.
|
 |
| What
are the server requirements to install SiteReplicator Wizard? |
|
It will
run on almost all domain websites that allow you to run CGI
scripts and has perl 5+ installed. Most web hosting services
meet these requirements and any host that doesn't is probably
not suitable for business use. For more information on our
requirements, click here.
Hosting through us easily meets these requirements.
|
 |
| Do
you offer a reseller or affiliate program? |
|
Yes. We
offer reseller opportunities to fit all needs and budgets,
including an affiliate
program and industry-unique reseller
licenses.
|
 |
| What
is your upgrade policy? |
|
Minor
same version releases will be free of charge (i.e.; 1.5 to
1.6), and major releases will be available at a reduced price
to registered users (i.e.; 1.6 to 2.0).

I
sell a product with reproduction rights and want to give my
customers a free website so they can market it like I do.
I want each customer to receive and process their own orders
so they have control and appear as the source. How Is this
possible?
|
|
Good question.
Not only is this possible, but this is exactly how we use
it. When you create the master website that promotes the product,
you will design the order page a little differently than the
rest, depending on the features you want to offer and whether
you are replicating websites on a secure server. If
you want orders to only be processed via mail, then it's simple.
Just create and replicate a standard form that the user completes,
prints and mails. If you want each site to accept credit cards
online, then you will either need to replicate the sites on
a secure server, or have the order page link to an order form
on a secure server. We give you a sample form to use with
both secure online and by mail.
To see an example of an order
page that links to a secure order form, click
here. If SRW is installed
on a secure server, or if you don't want to offer online processing,
you could simply include the "order form" with the
website as it's replicated..
With the release of our OrderForm Wizard
software, you will be able to create a "secure
order system" that each client can update themselves!
Then, when you replicate a website, the URL of the customers
Order Form Wizard will automatically be included. For example,
you can have a "To Order" image (or text) that links
to the secure order form of that customer. Now you don't have
to worry about pricing, taxes, or payment and shipping methods
because customers can easily create, customize and update
their own order form any time without programming! This Order
System has a value of over $199 per year and you can include
it for free! For more information contact
us or visit our Products page.
