Higher limits?

Hey there BT. I'm about to start making an app for a pretty well-known YouTube personality and we know that we'll need 1,000 odd screens & once the app has been published it will definitely go over the 500,000 views limit per month. I am not knowledgeable in the sense of servers/self hosting and what not and to save hassle I was wondering if BT would be willing to set up my account with a higher screen limit and views, at a monthly cost of course and still stay with your servers (because lets face it, BT's are better than others as it just works with no hassle!).. Think this would be possible at all?

Of you wish to be merely a user and not an administrator of a self-hosted server you have several options. Have an account with someone as myself or Buzztouch.com Or have a self-hosted server managed by another. Given your needs I would recommend option #2 for various reasons. Data usage Ownership of data Future development These considerations are basically the core of BTv2.0 and why an account with either myself or Buzztouch.com is not the best option. Fred

Perhaps I need to elaborate a bit on my response. Given your needs I would recommend option #2 for various reasons. Data usage - David@Buzztouch can easily resolve this either way. Ownership of data - If you wish to access your database for the app self-hosting is the way to go. Pro grammatically create screens - Easily done via self-hosting Future development - Once you invest heavily into the app, you'll want to take advantage of self-hosting capabilities. These considerations are basically the core of BTv2.0 and why an account with either myself or Buzztouch.com is not the best option. So, I say don't go with Buzztouch.com (Using Buzztouch's hosted control panel) Go with Buzztouch.com (Using Buzztouch's Self-hosted control pane) So in short, my vote is go with Buzztouch, just choose wisely because entering 1000 odd screens via the Control Panel may not be the best method.
