I’m pretty excited about BaseKit!  We’ve just installed it on our server and it’s looking good.  I’ve been testing it out, and it can make some pretty impressive websites.  SabotSites.com is happy to offer this product to our clients, FREE of charge!

BaseKit has a drag-n-drop functionality that is super easy to use and includes many powerful widgets and app integration: Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, YouTube and many more!  You will also enjoy a variety of more than 200 professional templates, customizable designs and full HTML/CSS control for the more savvy web designers, or those desiring to learn more about design!

Installing BaseKit:

In order to get started with BaseKit, simply login to your SabotSites.com hosting account control panel (cPanel) and scroll down to the Software/Services section and click on BaseKit SiteBuilder to install it on your domain or previously created sub-domain.

Once you have installed BaseKit, you can gain access to edit your website by clicking on this same icon.

Selecting a Template:

The hardest part of using BaseKit is going to be choosing which of the over 200 templates to get started with!   If you select one template and after playing around with it, are not satisfied, try a different template.  To do this, click on “Manage” from the top menu of BaseKit and choose to delete the website and then you can install a different template.

Sign-Up

Current SabotSites clients, CLICK HERE TO JOIN the affiliate program at SabotSites.com, where you will be asked to login with your client area login details.  (If you are NOT currently a SabotSites client, you can still become an affiliate,  REGISTER FIRST with SabotSites to obtain your free client area login details.)

Tell Your Friends

Once you register as an affiliate, you will be emailed an affiliate link.  That link will simply take visitors to http://SabotSites.com.  HOWEVER it will also place a “cookie” on the client’s computer that is valid for 60 days, recognizing that the person arrived at SabotSites using YOUR affiliate link.  Because of this link, you will get a 25% credit for any hosting accounts that they purchase.

There are many ways that you can advertise your affiliate link.  You can use some of the methods listed here or invent your own!

• Share Your Link -  The easiest way is to simply COPY & PASTE your SabotSites affiliate link in email messages that you send to your friends and contacts or in your email “signature”.  It’s especially efficient to email it to people you have heard talk about needing to put up a website or to those who have a website and and would like to migrate to a BETTER hosting service with EXCELLENT customer service!  We will even help with the migration.

• Add an Affiliate Banner – If you have your own website, you can use a SabotSites banner graphic to help drive traffic from your website to SabotSites.

• Buy a Domain - You can even buy your very own catchy domain name and ask SabotSites to park it on your affiliate link.  In doing this, when someone clicks on www.YourCatchyDomainName.com it will go directly to SabotSites using your affiliate link.  You can then advertise www.YourCatchyDomainName.com on business cards, posters, or anywhere you’d like!

However you share the link is fine.  Just always remember that although you can type the link text as SabotSites.com, be sure to make it link to your actual affiliate link which will look something like this…  http://www.sabotsites.com/whmcs/aff.php?aff=000 (your affiliate number will replace the 000).  Remember that the link will simply take clients to my website after having saved a cookie on their computer, marking them as your client. 

Get Paid

You can withdraw your affiliate account balance from the SabotSites client area at any time or even apply your affiliate credit towards your own SabotSites products and and services.

If you are transferring your website from another hosting company to SabotSites.com, you may want to consider transferring your domain name as well.  This will make it easy for you to pay for your website hosting account and your domain name renewal at one place and time.  We can do this because Sabot Sites is always willing to prorate your hosting account to synchronize with your domain name renewal.

Please follow these instructions to ensure that your domain name transfer will NOT fail!

BEFORE REQUESTING A DOMAIN NAME TRANSFER:

1. Login to your control panel at your current registrar.
2. Make sure that the registrant email address that you have given to  your current registrar is up-to-date.  Once you start the transfer, your current registrar is going to send an email to this address asking for permission to move the domain to SabotSites.com.  If the email listed there doesn’t work, you can’t respond and the transfer WILL fail.
3. Make sure the domain is not locked.  If it is locked, even if you agree to the transfer, the transfer WILL fail.
4. Make sure the privacy protection is turned off, if it is not, the transfer WILL fail.
5. Retrieve the EPP Authorization key from your current registrar.
6. Go to SabotSites.com to initiate transfer of your domain name at http://www.sabotsites.com/whmcs/cart.php?a=add&domain=register.
7. On STEP 3 of the checkout process, paste the EPP Authorization key in the EPP Code box.
   
   

PLEASE NOTE:

• Domain name transfers are a 5 to 7 day process so maker sure the domain name is not within 7 days of expiration.   If it is and the domain transfer is interrupted by the domain actually expiring, the transfer WILL fail.  In this case, just renew it with your current registrar and do the domain name transfer 60 days after you renew it.
• Confirm that the domain name is at least 60 days old.  If it is not, the transfer WILL fail.
• If your domain name has already expired with your current registrar, confirm that the domain is no more than 30 days past the expiration date in order to proceed with a domain name transfer.  If it is, just renew it with your current registrar and do the domain name transfer 60 days after you renew it.

Creating a new email account is quite easy.

To create a new email account:

1. Go to http://sabotsites.com
2. Click the Client Control Panel login link (http://sabotsites.com:2082/frontend/rvorange/index.html)
3. Login to your control panel using the username and login emailed to you when you purchased your account.

5. Click on Add / Remove E-mail account(s).
6. Type in the desired email name and password.
7. Select a quota.  Be sure to select a quota in accordance with your account size.  You don’t want your email account using up the space needed to make your website function properly.

In order to access your email account you will need the following account information.

Login: email address

Password: password used when creating the email account

If someone else has set this account up for you, you can change the password to anything you’d like once you have logged in for the first time. To do this, click on the Change Password icon at the bottom left side of the screen immediately after you have logged in to your email account.

When you sign in there is a choice of 3 email interfaces: Horde is the most versatile but is more complicated, Squirrel is the most simple to use, but is indeed simplistic, and Round Cube is the third choice and my personal favorite.

You can also set up your POP3 email account to be viewed in Gmail/Outlook/Outlook Express/Windows Mail/Hotmail. Depending on what email service you are using, you may need some of the following information:

• Use mail.yourdomain.com for the incoming and outgoing mail server information.
• You may need to go to the properties of that account and click the servers tab.  Click on settings and checkmark my server requires authentification.
• Some servers have issues with the default port.  If your account isn’t working, try going to the account settings and click the advanced tab and change the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) setting to 26, it’s probably currently on 25.
