New Version! Skype Support! More About Hosting!

We have lots of news to report! Here are the quick highlights

• New Client Area/Licensing System -> New Version: 1.7 – Implements New Licensing System
• FSRevolution Skype Support
• FSRevolution Hosting

To start, FSR has recently updated its licensing system to reflect the update to SPBAS, the new version of PHPAudit. This means several things, all of which are good:

• We can now offer many new pricing structures including monthly payment plans!
• Your client area is much more intuitive now. Your orders are organized into packages which have assets like your script license, support packages, and download packages. This also allows you to customize how much support you really need so you only pay for what you want.
• There is new licensing system in place now. Your old licenses should continue to function until you apply our latest update: FSRevolution v1.7! We’ve implemented the new licensing system in this version which allows us to leave a few more files unencoded than usual. This means your site should load faster, as there are less files to decode! The new licensing system also allows us greater granular control over your licensing, meaning addons are even easier to release directly to you!

We highly recommend everyone login to the new client area to download and apply the update as well as check to make sure all of your details were imported over properly. If not, we may need to manually create accounts and records for you, but be assured, your information is not actually lost.

You can login to your client area using the following, new URL:

[ http://www.fsrevolution.com/clients/ ]

Your login e-mail and password should still be the same. Make sure you check your licenses and packages and ensure everything is correct. If something is missing or incorrect, please e-mail us immediately at our support e-mail address with [IMPORT] somewhere in the subject line.

Speaking of support, we have some more good news on that front. Many of you have expressed interest in phone support for the script. We’re happy to announce that starting next Monday, February 1st, we will begin offering FSRevolution Support via Skype directly from the owner and writer of the script! You can either purchase pre-packaged blocks of time (15, 30, or 60 minute packages are available), or simply start with a one-time 5 minute call for $25. Each support call results in a minimum of 5 minutes being deducted from your allotment of time. After your package of time is used up, it’s simply $5/minute after that.

Support hours will vary daily so there will simply be an online indicator at fsrevolution.com. When support is online, you’re free to place your order for support packages through the main order area. Once your order is complete, you can call in via Skype for free! We will ask for some information from you in order to confirm your order and figure out how much time you have allotted or remaining on your package, then we are at your service.

Also as of February 2010, FSR will be hosting its own clients at reduced monthly rates! For existing clients, you have two options: we can either migrate everything to our hosting for you for a one-time fee of $75.00 or you can simply choose to handle everything yourself. Either way, you will still receive the reduced monthly rates for FSR clients as well as the many benefits that go along with that including: automatic FSRevolution updates, special addons, and optional backup and management services. For clients who currently own a Base license, our base hosting package starts at just $9.95/month. For owners of the Unlimited license (including those who have upgraded from Base to Unlimited), your base monthly rate is just $6.95/month! This base package includes 1 GB of disk space, 50 GB of monthly bandwidth, unlimited e-mail accounts, unlimited databases, unlimited subdomains, and unlimited addon domains! See this page for complete details regarding rates.

That’s it! And don’t worry – all of this is simply a springboard as well as a soft landing spot for FSRevolution 2.0, which is just around the corner!
