I'm new to Buzztouch, and i'm interested to subscribe as member , I would like to know what are the levels of customization that is possible with the self-hosted option: For example to what level can I re-brand the self hosting solution? Will i be able to change the user interface and layout as i want it for my solution? If maybe one of experts could give me idea on this I will greatly appreciate it , thx Johan Laubscher

Hoesit, Die beste self hosted persoon is @MrDavid, hy sal jou sorteer. http://www.simplyapps.tk lekker bly (excuse my afrikaans, been a while in Aus)

Hi Kaybee dis nou lekker verrassing toe jy in Afrikaans 'reply' :) Baie dankie vir info, ek sal @MrDavid my vrae stuur. cheers, lekker dag Johan

yeah, What Kaybee said lol

I am interested in understanding the benefits of self hosting and what I can do and how. I am very new to app development but ready to jump with both feet in and want to get the most out of my experience. Thanks,

Hi @cyborg2g & @Bauwermeister, The self-hosting screens can easily be rebranded. This is great for promoting your own app making bunsiness. With Self-Hosting you can: customize the look with your brand create unlimited apps create unlimited user accounts (clients) push notifications update your Plugins instantly I have used the Free x10hosting.com server yo run my Self-hosted version and worked great. You can then easily upgrade if you need to. Here is a very quick example of changing the branding. I only spent 10 minutes for this client adding their logo and changing some colors. http://www.ijrapps.x10.mx/BT-server-2.1.8/

@ian does this require the 29.99/mo option for buzztouch if I choose to do the self-hosting? If not, when or how does that apply?

You are already a Member. So you are good to go! No other fees. You can just download the self-hosted package and follow the included instructions to upload it to your web hosting of choice (i use x10hosting.com) https://www.buzztouch.com/account/btserver.php

oh ok thanks a bunch and I couldn't pull up that example you sent to me

hi Ian thanks for your feedback, so if i understand correctly , I am able to take the standard login page for example, and customize it completely in terms of changing the HTML Front end/CSS to my own front end . i.o.w I am not limited to only swopping out images and changing colors only , right?

If you have the skills you could tweak as much of the layout as you want. All the files are included in the download

oh ok thanks a bunch and I couldn't pull up that example you sent to me
