Scalability - You can
GROW!
Scalable to

your web server environment, processor speed, memory, diskspace etc.). You can
create virtually unlimited categories and subcategories from the web-based admin

Member Accounts, Access
Levels - Commercialise Your Personals
Service!
Why granting
all members the same access? Create guest and free accounts, create silver,
gold, platinum etc. memberships all with different access permissions. You
should give your paid members ultimate access and restrict access to new
members. You may not want newbies for example to reply to ads or upload too many
photos. Members can upgrade via credit card using ibill, clickbank and via
paypal. You can charge your paid members for example daily, monthly, yearly
membership terms with our paypal and ibill payment modules, fully automated or
one time charges with our 2checkout and clickbank modules. Possibilities are
endless.
? Well, don't you think that giving the
same level of access to everyone is a bad idea? That's why we are giving you the
ability to define multiple access levels, each contain unique characteristics.
Guest members should not have the same access permissions as free members, free
members should not have the same access levels as paid members and so on.
? Ability to create virtually unlimited
accounts with unlimited access levels and combinations of permissions.
? Each access level contains unique
characteristics.
? There are about 23 characteristics to be
selected (i.e. allow to post ads, browse ads, add images, reply to ads, hotlist
ads, search ads, number of ads allowed, number of images allowed etc...)
? Members who belong to a certain group
can only do whatever access has been defined for that group.
? Each access level can be assigned to a
free or paid account.
? You can choose one of several payment
methods for each access level.
? Paypal IPN (fully automated recurring
charges and cancellations), ibill (fully automated recurring charges and
cancellations), clickbank and 2checkout payment modules available (additional
modules on request)
? Setup one time charges, trial amounts
and/or recurring charges for each account.
Member
Registration - The Entrance To Your
Community!
The member registration is an
easy and secure process, you can collect all information you want from your
users on the registration form. The application can be instantly approved,
approved manually by you or after accessing a link in the verification email,
this ensures you only have valid emails in the database.

applications, new applications can be given access right away, require to
validate their email address, or waiting for manual admin approval.

reply to users who register for an account. The message welcomes them and gives
them their username and password. This might also encourage users who register
but don't immediately post an ad to come back later and post their ad.
? Ability to forward the user to the
control panel after successful login or to post an ad right away after first
time login, this dramatically increases the amount of ads in your system but may
turn off members who just want to browse listings.
