Directory website questions, hosting
I am starting a search engine or list site with many categories and topics that will eventually run ADs for revenue. Can you guys suggest the best hosting package to go with the Ultimate WB Full version? 
 
Thanks, Harry

I would go with at least the Deluxe 1000 or Deluxe 2000 plan: https://www.ultimatewb.com/domain-names-web-hosting . You can start with that and upgrade as necessary to our higher plans.

Templates available?

Thanks David, much appreciated.
 
Are there templates to work from in your builder, and if so can you think of one that would be good for a list/search engine site?

Sure, you're welcome! UltimateWB Full comes with lots of built-in apps. Based on your website description so far, I would guess that the Listings Directory app would work for you, but if you give more details on your website, I can provide better, more tailored advice and recommendations. You can find more info on the features available at https://www.ultimatewb.com/features 

Our website builder has a built-in Templates Generator to make the development process a lot easier and faster. You can watch a video on how it works on our blog post at https://www.ultimatewb.com/blog/1679/ultimatewb-6-is-here-templates-generator-contact-form-app-update-and-more/ 

With the Templates Generator you can quickly build out content, and then go into the relevant admin sections to customize further. It does also include some Sample Styles that you can run, and then customize further with the built-in Styles Manager.

Hope this helps!

Thanks David.
 
It will be a directory of business in many categories.  When a business is selected, it will go to a page with many details like location, a description, etc. Then the user can click on that page and it will go to that business's web page.  As it grows we will include some Ads.  
 
Also I want to make the directory searchable in for all the information in all listings.
 
That's it for now so I think it is pretty basic.
 
Thanks,

Hi David,
 
A few last questions before I sign up.
 
1 - Can I host more than 1 domain with the 2000 plan, if so is the web builder limited to only 1?
2 - When I buy Ultimate Web Builder Full cloud, should I add the hosting and an SSL in the same cart?
3 - How long does it take to get it started?
 
Thanks,

Hi Harry,

1) Each web hosting plan and each website builder is for 1 website. For web hosting, you can start with the Deluxe 1000 plan and upgrade if necessary. The process to upgrade to the next plan is very easy and does not require any migration of content - we just add resources to your plan. The web hosting and website builder are connected to the domain name you choose.

2) UltimateWB Full, or Ultimate Web Builder Full, is the software which you can purchase, download, and install on a web hosting plan/server. UltimateWB Cloud plans include use of the website builder and web hosting, but your website content is not downloadable, unless you switch to buying the website builder. So, UltimateWB Cloud plans are similar to hosted website builders. Either way, we include SSL free with our web hosting plans and UltimateWB Cloud plans, so you do not need to add it.

If you choose to buy the software, you will need to buy hosting as well, either from UltimateWB, or a web hosting company that satisfies the server requirements. When you purchase web hosting from UltimateWB, we install your purchased software on your web hosting, so the process is really easy for you - after setup, you just login to your website admin panel to start building your website. Similarly, with UltimateWB Cloud plans you just login to your website admin panel to start building your website.

3) UltimateWB purchases are usually processed and set up within 1 business day. We do sometimes do setups during off business hours and the weekend/holidays.

The setup process will require you to point your domain nameservers to our servers. We will provide you with the nameservers. Usually the connection is very quick, but sometimes, depending on such things as your domain registrar, it may take up to 24 hours to connect. In our experience however, the process has been very quick.

Hope this helps!

Ordering! Domain name?
I am going to order the full version of the software and go for the 2000 plan to have it installed thereby you guys.  Should I put both of those in the cart at the same time?  Also, do I need to request any extras installed to make sure I have everything, and how do I do backups?
 
Do I need to know what domain name before I order?  We are tossing around a few different ones right now.
 
Thanks,
 
Harry

If you are doing a web hosting subscription vs a one-time payment, the software purchase/web hosting subscription will be processed as 2 transactions - when clicking on the web hosting Subscribe button it goes to checkout to set it up. But anyways, we can get you set up once receiving the full order, with the software purchase and web hosting.

You do need to choose a domain name first - the web hosting is set up on your domain name, as is the software. While you can purchase with a "tba" domain name, no setups can be done without it, so you may want to wait to purchase until you have a confirmed domain name.

You can purchase your domain name from UltimateWB, or any other company that allows you to update the nameservers. If you are not sure whether a company lets you do that, please feel free to ask us, or the other company.

You can check whether a domain name is available here: https://www.ultimatewb.com/check-domain-names .

We have some blog posts on choosing domain names, if you are interested to read:
