When I...

[Javi22292]

I am plannin on buying a Invisionfree Power Board. But if I buy it will it have a hompage too. Or will it just be the forums?

I want it to be something like this

9thwonders.com

I'm sure they're quite insulted that you called them InvisionFree Power, but anyway. You really need to contact them by emailing sales@invisionpower.com. No support nor pre-sales queries are allowed on these forums at all.

Assuming you mean Invision Power Board, that's a good choice ;)

Just the forums.
Everything you see on forums.invisionpower.com is what you get from buying IPB. You can then skin it as you like.
If you want a website, you might want to try looking for a CMS software, or wait and buy Invision Power Dynamic - which will do just that.

9thwonders.com

That's a very impressive website.
IPB can only help you with the 'discussion' section of that website - but that will take a lot of skinning work.
Websites like that take a lot of work.


As said before, you'd be best EMailing sales.

Have a nice day

Okay so all they do is provide forums....hmm if I get Invision Power Dynamic do I get a wensite and forums or what?

And I am sorry I said InvisionFREE Power Board. I was thinking about the free one's

This site has nothing to do with Invisionfree... you might go to their website to inquire about their offerings?

Invision Power Dynamic (IP.D) is still in development, we are likely to see the product released as a public BETA early next year. So for the time being, you can only purchase the forum software.

You would also need to buy webhosting. We can't discuss non IPS hosting here, but take a look at IPS Hosting: http://hosting.ipslink.com/

[Javi22292]

Hmmm.....thanx man but can someon tell me if I wait till Invision Power Dynamic comes out. will that provide me the domain and the forums in one pack?

[stobbo]

IP.Dynamic will not provide you with a domain or forum.

IP.Dynamic will provide you with a application to produce a site, in a similar way freewebs does, but more advanced.
IP.Board will provide you with a place to hold community discussion
IP.Hosting would provide you with a place where you can put this online. I am not sure if they provide domains but I would imagine do, however IPS would help you get a domain if they don't provide domains.

For hosting I would recommend the $14.99 package on http://hosting.ipslink.com/shared.html. It includes a IP.Board license and will allow you to use IP.Dynamic when it comes out for the license fee (unless IPS provide it free to IP.Hosting users, which I am not sure if they will). The $14.99 package has a IP.Board license included FREE, so you only have to pay for hosting :)

Hope this helps.

I agree with stobbo, if you go with IPS Hosting, you get a free IP. Board license

IP. Dynamic:

IP. Board:

I knew they did domains :P

So basically, if you don't have much knowlage with running a website, IPS is the perfect company. You also get one support place for all products :)

Thank you stobbo for the help :D.

[stobbo]

No problem :)

[Javi22292]

Okay one last question...

Where can I buy the forum?

Also if I buy a standerd liscense can I upgrade later or what? Also I cant make polls?

[Mat Barrie]

Hi there!

The "Buy Now" page is here: http://community.ipslink.com/board/purchase.html

There is no need to upgrade if you get the Standard - the feature set of that compared to Business is identical, the only difference is in the SLA (maximum time for support to fix problems for you) which is 1 day for business, and 2 for standard. In both cases you do have IPSB access, which can sometimes be faster than either SLA! You can make polls on your forum wherever you like - as the administrator, YOU decide where polls can be made on your forum!

Thanx man everyone thanx for the help :)
