Thread: How to set-up sample site I can use to help and teach clients

I am helping several of my clients build their own websites and do the search engine optimization. The problem that I have is how do I set-up a site where each one can go and we can build sample pages for them without jeopardizing the safety and security of my website. The idea is that I need to be able to show them how soholaunch and bluevoda work, what they are capable of and test some pages for SEO etc. before they decide if they want to have bluevoda as a host etc.

Do I do this with subdomains? Do I need to set up a separate subdomain for each client?

Please talk to me like a complete newbie at this. Step by step instructions work best.

Thanks,

Shasta

You cant... You need your own server. Its not permitted to host third part domains or give them access to your account.

I don't want to host their domains or give them access to my account. I want to set up a place where I can teach them to build their own sites. I don't want to forever have to maintain their sites for them. Eventually they need to know if BlueVoda and vodahost is the host for them. It is just hard to convince them without them being able to see an actual site in action.

You cant without giving them ACCESS.. thats what im telling you.. this would only be possible on your own server. You cannot give them SUBDOMAIN ACCESS either as this still requires access to the main account. You need them to make their OWN accounts or rent a server.

You can even BUILD a server OFFLINE and do it there where you teach.

If your clients are serious about a website, just get them to open an account with VH as they are going to need it eventually. Then you ask them for their login details to help with tuition (which they can change later).
If you join the VH affiliate program & inform vh that you are bringing customers to VH. You will be entitled to a commission on each new member.
