Trying to set up a paid Members area on a modeling site.

Any suggestions on the best options for this?

Links, software or suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks!

Find someone that is profficient in php/asp.net and pay them to write it for you...

do you have the site currently up and are trying to addon to it? or are you trying to build one from the ground up?

You'll probably need to buy on of those shopping cart packages, then have someone to integrate the cart into your website and maybe code an interface for it..

<-- not speaking from experience :eek:

Edit: Oh yeah, you also need to set up a secure area (https) for members to enter CC info and all that.. maybe purchase an SSL license or something

http://www.ccbill.com/ does a lot of the porn sites, and i know a couple of the people who are the "webmasters" or so they call themselves and they don't know sh!t, so i am sure you could easily figure it out.

this is not to imply that your site will be porn

no its not a porn site....its a modeling site.


no probs, i just didn't want to imply anything as i do not know you.

they also have a sister company - http://www.cavecreek.net/ so if you go with one as your billing company and the other as your hosting company i think you get a little break. i have used the hosting company in the past for over a year and never had a problem. good customer service.

good luck on your site, post a link so we can all check it out
