So I've been using nextcloud for a company a little while and it's great for being like dropbox and all, even a mailer system and so on. And now I am using the una for another company, it has my wheels turning. Anyone tried this yet? I think bridging the two would be a great combo

So I have been using shared hosting for many websites for years. I've run many websites on this hosting. And I have ran some vps in the past with like vultr, but the block some repos and I wasnt happy with them, to even run a server right out of my own home. The shared VPS for running a lot of clients websites like wordpress for some companies amd maybe some webcasts is actually cheap, but of course they choke you in their ways of what they call "unlimited" like only php uploads at 256 and cant do much with php.ini or ffmpeg not installed and so one. 

So I see today. They are running a sale on vps.... I am like awesome 50% off too.  So I look into it and on the site it says I can get a 1tb ssd GPS snappy 200 with cpanel for 42$ a month (and mind you I made sure that's pay month to month, you guys who have been in web making know what I mean) so I get in instant chat and start asking, hey, so how much for me to migrate to snappy 200.... the sales person tells me 79% I'm like wait, I just saw on your website its 42$, they say oh send me a. Link, i send a link, and they say, now get this, that's for new customers not old ones. So i tell the sales dept. I said well that's kind of abusive isnt it to your long time clients who have used you for years not to get discounts. Then they say well I can give you 25% off.

I told them never mind,  I mean I can just make a new account and start some whatever dot com and migrate it myself amd save money.

Can you believe that.

Anyways does anyone know any good vps for a good month to month price?

OK -  DIARY OF A NEW CUSTOMER !!

Today 2nd June. AM

Just signed up for the $50 + 50 plan (Apps & Hosting) 

Impressed  with the slick stripe payments. Its very good btw!

But apart from a 'Red Dot" in the Licence Field, I'm totally lost as to what to do now, or where to even look  / go now !

I've so many questions now.  I want to get started, i'm excited for sure, but I'm not been pointed in any specific direction.

First impressions - there are no obvious instructions to follow for a new user! At least nothing apparent to me, at first glance.

Like -

Where - do I go to "see' the back end of my potential new website?

Can - I start to experiment, build an "off-line'  version, get my toes wet, see how it look and feels before going live?

What - happens now?

Today 2nd June. PM

Launching the launch window!!!!

OK - Licence Bought - Go to activate / Launch said Licence, and ran into problems with the correct naming of servers, again I feel the fact that I needed to summon Help to even activate the site was not good. Should be a case of; [ imput company name here ] & Click GO!! That said, getting help here, was super quick, through the UNA site. The new message alerts on my phone were also impressive, ditto for the UNA - device APP itself.

Overall

I feel the whole UNA "shop window' is very confusing indeed.  I mean - I'm never quite sure whether I'm actually on my OWN SITE, or UNA's !!!! at any one time, it's very confusing, seriously. Suggest colour code, UNA have a  different back round colour to own site.

Pricing

Probably be happy paying $100 p/m ok, (if I was actually making progress building a site) I'll talk about this in a while. In my opinion, having your 'business plan" priced at $800 a month (as it stands), when you can not tell me definitively, what exactly i will get for it!!! is plain pointless, to a small business, with a budget in mind!!  Mind the Gap!!  Big jump from $100 p/m to $800 p/m !!!  My site could take anything from a few hours, to months to implement, and there is no apparent tangible way of telling me in advance, what it's going to cost me???, come on! and that's not workable for any business.  Consider offering a "white label, ready to go template, out of the box, design and implementation for a set fee, payable per month, all I need to do is change the logo, up-load some pic's turn on/off the modules i want or need, and i'm LIVE!!  A "definable feature package'  memberships, forum, live chat, blog, photos etc for $xx per month, designed and implemented. That would interest me!

The Software itself

For sure, there is evidence of brilliance everywhere, Seeing how the template it looks and functions on my various devices, it's very impressive, the notifications everything, (on your own site that is! - UNA!) But the Achilles heal of the software is that it is designed by; Expert Tech geeks, for Competent Tech Geeks.  If your not a programmer, your lost here. Its not for any "Idea Person" in my view.  It's for a Competent Tech Geek, with an idea!  In short - as it currently is - the software is not 'user-friendly" enough for the mass market your after.  I've stated THIS as the standard you need to aim for ;- 

http://www.vistaprint.ie/websites 

The CMS is as easy to edit as a word doc, and modules and pages are simple ON/OFF options, money back guarantee, and outstanding tel support.  

I feel, UNA would need to offer some form of "support" at the start in order to "be at the races" as a product. Assign each new customer of UNA, to an "angel" initially as part of the deal, supported via a "P.C anywhere" type support / with chat.  Get um up and running with a revenue generating prod, and you have a good shot at retention.  But after 1- DAY on this, I'm so far a little disappointed, I thought I would be able to do more for myself. I'll try again tomorrow!!

Hey,

I was never able to use the payments-module by Boonex on both platforms (Dolphin and UNA). I get the following error after a successful payment via PayPal (sandbox): TRANSACTION VERIFICATION FAILED.

In the logfile there are entries like:

05-16 16:18:26: Finalize Checkout Failed
05-16 16:18:26: array (
'r' => 'payment/finalize_checkout/paypal/2',

'payer_status' => 'VERIFIED',

'last_name' => 'buyer',
'txn_id' => '6GE18003HN457640W',
'mc_currency' => 'EUR',
'mc_fee' => '0.45',
'mc_gross' => '5.00',

'item_name1' => 'Test',
'quantity1' => '1',
'mc_gross_1' => '5.00',

'custom' => 'MnwyNQ%3D%3D',
'verify_sign' => 'AFcWxV21C7fd0v3bYYYRCpSSRl31Au6BB2RbbA7UgkNTVOzxDv8a0ZWj',
)

Same error on different UNA and Dolphin installations. May it be a server thing?

I added a product here on UNA and created a new profile. I purchased my test product and it displayed the following message: PAYMENT IS NOT COMPLETED.

Is there something wrong or is it intended this way?
