What is the maximum number of pages we can put into our Mini Sites?

More that 6?

Hi Dave,

I just looked in the cPanel and it shows disk space as Unlimited. According to that, there is virtually no limit as to how many pages you could have there.

At the same time, we do not have the ability to create any Sub-Domains for our account. There is no indication as to the limit on bandwidth or traffic visiting our site.

Hope this helps. What did you have in mind to add on additional pages?

Regards,

Hi Ron,

Once I figured out how to load my template, I got to thinking obout the pages I had on my ws site. I had a home page, a page about me, etc.

I got so excited when I figured how I could link the pages together , my brain started perkalating and I figured I'd put a home page on the site with a first step page and an about me page. These I have almost completed correctly, I just have to get a personal link on the concentrate eBook. You can see it at http://newconcepts.bybweb.com.

Then I figured that since I am interested in antique tractors and I go often to allischalmers.com which is a huge discussion board, I would build a page of pictures of tractors, mine and others. When I post on the AC board, I would include a link to my tractor pictures. Then on the tractor page I would make it easy for some one looking at pictures to click on the linki to my Home page, my About Me page, and my give away page.

I haven't started working on that page yet.

I know this post is getting long but the next thought I had was how neat it would be to be able to tell my new people to go to http://newconcepts.bybweb.com/Instructions and print out instructions on how to set up pages on the Mini Site. I did that. You can see my instructions there. Look at them and comment if you see any improvements I need to make.

Well, the next brainstorm I had was to make a flyer to put up in grocery stores, laundromats, etc. to promote the business offline. So I took part of my home page and built a flyer page which I think turned out pretty good. That makes 5 pages so far.

It gets worse!

If I got instructions, I need templates for the new people so I built a generic template for the home page, the First Step page, and my About Me page. Of course I was going to have to change the instruction page to match the additional pages. Each template would require a separate page, so I loaded my my TemplateHome and my TemplateFirstStep but when I tried to load my TemplateAboutMe page, I got a message to the effect that loading that page would put me into "exceeding alowable files space issue".

Thus the question. My sponsor Jeff Cline told me the same thing you said that 100 mB would allow unlimited pages.

I really got excited because not only do we have such great tools in BYB, a better compensation plan, and a team like Warren and in my case in addition to Warren, Jeff is a WebMaster in his own right. I figured that anyone who wanted to hold onto GDI with this kind of comparison would have have his wood wet. One of the things that excited me was the possibility to make numerous pages.

Ever since Warren introduced me to the concept he teaches, and seeing all his web pages over the past year, I have been trying to figure out how to duplicate what he was doing with out having to pay for several hosting sites. This week I got extremely excited about what I was going to do in BYB. This is just a snag. I will keep digging and asking until the solution comes.

Sorry about the long post. But you did ask.

BTW, I never messed with web pages before I built my www.davefullmer.ws site 2 weeks ago.

Hi Dave,

That is interesting the BYB Minisite is limiting the amount of space since it shows unlimited in the CPanel, but I was very surprised that it showed unlimited. I think the real purpose of the minisite is to give members the ability to learn some things about setting up a site without having to go purchase web hosting.

I think Warren has a place where you can get web hosting without having to pay an arm and a leg. If not, let me know and I have some.

I am very pleased to hear how well you are doing. Just because a person gets up in years,(you are only 9 years older than me) doesn't mean he can't learn things if he was to learn them. A few years ago, I wrote an accounting program for a missionary organization. The gentleman who was doing the office work was over 70. He had always done everything by hand and typewriter. I taught him to use the computer and he was able to learn how to do everything on the computer.

Well, I look forward to hearing how your projects come out.

By the way, I live in Indianapolis and our State Fair just celebrated it's 150 year. They have a very large pioneer village with old steam engines running thrashers and saw mills. They also have a large number old vintage tractors. Here is a link about a parade they had.

Sorry guys, I guess I got a little off the subject of BYB. :lol:

Good luck, Dave.

Ron,
Check my other post "Maybe I was wrong" I explained there where I goofed up. Also, it has a list of the pages I have built so far. We do have unlimited space. I just hit the panic button because of not reading a note on one of the Cpanel pages.

Thanks for your interest. I wish I could have seen that show. I trailered my 37 WC up to Big Rapids Mich a couple of years ago to show it in my home town. That was quite a trip with a 32' motor home and trailer. Cost me $500 in gas. Don't dare move the motor home this year.

Check my page out and tell me what you think. I am always open to ideas on how to improve.

Hi Guys

I've built a whole website using the BYB webspace plus I also use it for people who buy my ebay products to download from.

The site went live this week and i'm still tweeking it with the assistance of my wife! Luckly she did a webdesign course.

http://www.myworkfromhome.co.uk this redirects to http://www.success.bybweb.com

I thought the work from home url gave it a bit of class?

Feedback greatly appreciated. I'm going to use this site as a prototype for more sites i will develop in the future.

I've set up a links page and i'm more than happy to do banner and links exchanges. Just get in contact.

dfullmer · Sun Oct 15, 2006 7:41 pm

Hi Mark,

That is a classy professional looking site. I thought mine was pretty good until I see what you did. http://newconcepts.bybweb.com

Of course, I don't have a wife that took a web design course though. And I never did anything with building a web page before the last of July this year.

Thanks for sharing,

Dave

I would keep an eye on this carefully, I can't say from experience with BYB, but many low cost or free sites will drop anything that exceeds traffic quotas they don't even publish.

The BYB Mini-Sites are great for learning and promo pages, but they are NOT full blown hosting solutions and were never intended to be.

Full blown hosting solutions are available for a few bucks a month and if I were going to put much work or advertising into any site, I would grab one rather than use BYB.

Just my opinion.

sanpedro · Sun Oct 22, 2006 3:54 pm

Way ahead of you Warren!

I started myworkfromhome.co.uk as an experiment as to how much you could actually do with a BYB website. And I must say I was most impressed. I have recently moved to hosting with the company I bought the domain name from. I get more space and 3GB of bandwidth.

Content will be added almost daily as my wife and I extend the website.

Everyone please feel free to visit.

dfullmer · Sun Oct 22, 2006 10:28 pm

Mark,

You are the guy Jim talked about on the conference call Thur eve, aren't you. I just looked at the address of your forum and noticed it was your success.bybweb.com/forum Jim mentioned that you had actually built a forum on BYB.

You were on the conference call, weren't you. Well maybe not since you are UK. Is that British Isles?

Dave

warrencon · Mon Oct 23, 2006 4:19 am

The fact that we can build a forum on bybweb is cool, but this forum on forumwise is free, easier to setup and maintain and designed for more traffic. Why use anything else?

sanpedro · Mon Oct 23, 2006 9:06 pm

I listed to the conference call too and didn't realise Jim was talking about me? Come to think of it he has visited the site and sent me a message.

I guess I must have missed the part about the forum in the con call. I was very tired when I listened through the back office. A rough night with my 4mth old son!

I'm honoured to be mentioned!

I don't really get the chance to go on the live conference calls as they take place at 3am my time! I do however always listen to them when they are uploaded on the weekend. They are always a source of inspiration. Just hearing Jim and Barry laughing at each other is worth listing in for.

I suppose I could start a fresh forum using forumwise as the site is new and if the traffic does pick up they way I would like it to then I would like less restrictions on bandwidth.

Does forumwise have a bandwidth limit?

dfullmer · Tue Oct 24, 2006 1:42 am

I have heard statements about bandwidth before. Somebody even asked me about BYB bandwidth. I am not even sure what we are talking about. I know about bandwidth in broadcasting radio waves because of my electronic training back in the vacumn tube days, but how does bandwidth affect websites?

Jim didn't mention you by name, he just was impressed with the power of the minisite and that you were able to do what you had done with building the forum, etc.

I agree with Warren on one thing though. I tend to want to do the technical things a lot of times and in the long run, it slows down building a business. It is really dumb for me to spend time trying to do something that someone else has already accomplished when I can copy it and spend my time on a project that will bring in people. For instance, I get a kick out of peeling some code off a main website and making a splash page out of it. Example: http://newconcepts.bybweb.com/LeadsLottery

That page loads super fast on the exchanges but when you look at it, it is just the essential information peeled off the Leads Lottery main site. It took me maybe 30 minutes max to build it and load it to my site. And the neat thing is I emailed my people with some simple instructions on how to copy it, change it to their information and start using it.

Don't get me wrong, I am still impressed with your site. And you having your trained wife to help you with it was smart also. I have been impressed with the power of the Mini Site from the time this thread was started and I realized what I had. Warren has been feeding me stuff from one of his sites or another for the past year and every time he did it, I kept wondering how I could duplicate what he was doing. Until I got into BYB, I couldn't come up with a way without buying several domains and paying for hosting in several spots. BYB changed all that. Now I steal his stuff and put it on my site. (He said I could)

Dave

Just realized this thread has been going for 2 months now, almost 3.

sanpedro · Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:51 am

Good work on the leads lottery capture page!

You're the 18th member!? You must have typed in the website address as Jim was saying it on the conference call!

In answer to your question about bandwidth. What bandwidth means is the flow of traffic to your website. This can be visitors, downloads and especially each time an image is loaded. This can cause problems if you have a low bandwidth limit and people copy your images from your site. If they don't upload those images to their own webspace but instead link to yours then it comes off your quota!

With my BYB webspace I didn't even manage to get up to 100MB of bandwidth usage in a month and that was using it for downloads too of up to 5MB for my ebay store. I'm sure as the new site I have set up grows then the bandwidth usage will shoot up but for now i'm not worried.

I agree about the statement of don't overcomplicate things however its my goal to create a site that is a one stop shop for people wanting to earn extra money and promote their business.

dfullmer · Wed Oct 25, 2006 12:41 am

Thanks Mark,

That's the neat thing I see in BYB. Each of us can utilize the tools BYB provides in the way that fits our needs and wants the best. What one person is excited about, another won't give a fig about, but we have the tools that can make a real difference in our businesses.

Yes, I did sign up while Jim announced Leads Lottery. I promoted on a couple of surfing exchanges and I signed up several right quickly. One of them has won so I did too. Actually, the first week.

The program is a good leads producer also. Those that signed up are people I can start to build relationships with.

Thanks for all your help. I got my responder set up and am ready for people to respond to my splash page for Plan4Power.

Now to get my ebay store set up.

Dave
