Newbie Questions

Hi all! first off I'd like to say what an amazing web-builder Blue Voda is!

Secondly, being a TOTAL beginner to web-design, I am just creating a few pages at present, but have a few questions to ask before I proceed further:

1, How much is the hosting package? and does it vary taking into account how many web-pages etc you have created?

2, How diverse is the program, ie can I install a script into the site I created such as an auction type script etc? and if so, how does that effect the hosting pay options taking this into account?

3, Can I create a chatboard type site within Blue Voda, or do I have to install a chat-board script into the site somehow?

Thanks!

2) Yes you can install scripts.

3) We do not allow chat rooms to be run off of our servers, but you can
install a third party chat room plugin.

Thanks for the reply!

Sorry to sound naive, but how would the plug in work?

richardjamesh · #4 05-07-2006, 10:24 PM

Sorry I forgot to include something.

The kind of site I wish to create will be simlar to: http://www.rollonfriday.com/

If you click "Community" and then discussion board, that's ideally the kind chat-board I'd like to inclue within my Blue Voda created website.

When you mentioned a plug in, can you explain how that would work, and if it would be possible to create a web-site with chat-board like the one mentioned above with Blue Voda.

Many thanks!

That looks more like a forum - and you can have a forum. but you might want more of an official answer than from me for that.

richardjamesh · #6 05-07-2006, 11:44 PM

Thanks!, yeah it is more like a forum.

I'll wait for another answer.

Cheers

I hope Racefan doesn't mind me using his site - but he has a forum - see if this would work for you:

Thanks Bethers! that's almost exactly what I would like.

A discussion board within my site.

Hopefully will get a reply soonish.

Thanks again!

That's a BV site, so yes, you can do that.

richardjamesh · #10 05-08-2006, 12:38 AM

BV site? :/

Bethers · #11 05-08-2006, 12:46 AM

BV is Blue Voda.

If you look again at the features that ***** suggested:
http://www.vodahost.com/features.htm

you'll see the forum feature is listed.

Thanks again Bethers, it's just if you take a look thatwebsite I originally included and view their discussion board, it's alot different to the usual types and is easy to follow and fits in discreetly within the site.

Most forum/discussion board scripts seem the same looking, but what I need is one like that website has, so not sure if this is possible?

Bethers · #13 05-08-2006, 05:55 AM

You might have to pay for one and do it as an add-on then. There are various boards out there - see who that one comes from and what it's requirements are to use it.
