v2.0

Hi guys, I'm weighing up the options of self hosting, what additions does v2.0 have from v1.5 please? Many thanks.

Two things. First being that you actually host the app on 2.0 vs it being on Buzztouch servers. Though Buzztouch has never gone down on myself for long, by using 2.0, your uptime is not dependent on someone else's server. Since you host it, there is an obvious upfront cost to having a webserver. You can get web hosting that will work for as little as $5 bucks a month. The second piece is that 2.0 is built with plugins in mind. I have a feeling down the road you will see the community hopefully producing and updating plugins, rather then relying on just the Buzztouch staff. This will hopefully allow for cool new features to faster to Buzztouch.

Beside new plugins, (seriously a reason alone that's justifies the choice) I think you'll find future support, ability to import, export, copy and many other reasons will make you wish the app is a BTv2.0 app. Fred

Hey Alex, if you haven't found hosting yet - buzztouchmods.com will install 2.0 and host for you for extremely cheap. http://buzztouchmods.com/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=8 Take care, David.
