Except to assure you that neither of the above companies are in any way associated with Semiologic, Mesoconcepts, Inc, or Meaningful Technologies Corporation and caution you to read the fine print in their terms of Service (TOS) before you consider either of them for hosting of your Semiologic site, I will not go into a detailed description of their despicable business practices – at least here.

Suffice it to say that after a horrific  experience with Your Domains Name Hosting Company I began a search for a company where I could have everything I needed for hosting single Semiologic accounts with full but independent control over each domain such that I could allow others to have access without exposing any other sites to security issues.

The result is Meaningful Hosting, the meaningful alternative to everything else out there. All the details of the hosting plan have not yet been finalized but we are ready to talk to you about your needs.  Stop over at Meaningful Hosting and look around. All of the things you want and need without the pain and suffering of dealing with impossible to understand Terms of Service designed only to separate you from your hard earned money.

Meaningful Hosting is perfectly suited for Semiologic sites.  This site is hosted there and my personal sites including The Graphical Guru and Land Surveyors Notebook are hosted there.  Check them out and then contact us.

Remember also our special $50.00 credit on a hosting plan with a purchase of Semiologic Pro from a link on this site or the Meaningful Hosting site.

You have the ability to create any number of membership levels and can automatically change or promote a member from one level to another.  This allows you for example, to give anyone who registers on your site, an introductory membership to promote the value of your content. You have full control in determining  just what you wish to provide and for the length of time you wish to provide it.

The intent in this case is to convert these introductory memberships into a stream of subscribers who pay for your content.  What could be better than that.

Another use for this feature would be to offer staggered content, presented as lessons whereby those who are new subscribers begin at the introductory level and as time passes, the are promoted or advanced to the next level.  Twelve lessons equates to twelve levels of membership.  Look at the possibilities.  Members don't all join at the same time, and this allows everyone to begin when they want and get everything you have to offer.

Play the video and then decide.  For a single site the cost is $97.  For any number of sites that you own, the price is $297.  Compare that with aMembers per site cost of $179.95 with an extra $40 for a WordPress plugin to allow site integration.  And, don't forget the complicated aMember  setup procedure.

WishList Member is contained entirely within your WordPress theme.  No additional layouts to create, no change in look and feel, and no complicated scripts are required.  Get up and running almost before you know it.

For most purposes, the decision is a no brainer.  Check Wishlist Member out for yourself.
