Hi all

I want to build an ecommerce website, I just want to know if I should host within WA and if that is safe to do so? This will be a long term project.

Thank Y

Yes, it is safe to do so. Just do know that at this point we don't offer HTTPS if you are going to be accepting payment directly on your site, if you are using Paypal though you will be fine.

Https (and we are going to be offering free SSL) is going to be coming in the next month or so. ;)

Hi thanks for your advise i'll get building, I have no idea of what HTTPS is or SSL :/

I know that I am going to dive into WooCommerce and I would like to use paypal and credit cards for payments..

If you are going to use credit cards, you will want an SSL. If you are going to start off with just Paypal (which is much easier to get started with), you can easily use Woo w/ our hosting here.

Like I said, we will be offering free SSL in the next month or so here.

Hi Kyle do you know when you will have SSL on WA?

Can I find ecommerce help on WA? Otherwise would you recommend? Advice needed :)

An eCommerce site on the WA platform has its challenges. The platform does not support SSL certificates. Paypal is a very good option tho. What are your questions

I want to setup a big ecommerce website, would you recommend I host somewhere else or within WA I'll be using woocommorce

Thanks :)

Hi I heard they will be supporting SSL in a month or so but I don't know what SSL is? could you explain?

It stands fro Secure Socket Layer. It somehow provides added security to a website to protect c.c. users. There is a fee to get the needed protection.

Oh okay thanks. I spoke to Kyle and he said they were adding it on.

Hi does any body know how to do URL Forwarding?

i've got my website

If you haven't found the answer, you go to "Site Domains" and you will see a list of all your current domains. To the right you will see "Settings" and in this dropdown box you will find "Redirect". This is where you do your forward.

Here is how you can forward your email to another one.
How To Create New User and Personal Email On Website
To send someone to your affiliate program, you will need to copy its URL or link and then highlight ago to message in your article and then click on the link at the top and then paste it there.

Hi thanks for your response but I want my whole website to be forwarded to an affiliate link, not just an article for example

I want http://www.strategy4binaryoptions.com to be redirected to this link > http://www.mb57.com/

I can't figure it out :(

I am just curious why would you want your website forwarded to another website? Because I have never heard of anyone wanting to do this. Most people just add a link from the other site to there own website.

It's an affiliate link, so that the actual affiliate link doesn't look all ugly as they do... I just found out you can't actually do that through the WA hosting services so I need to host it else where.

Hey guys a little help needed here

do you know how I can change my admin name and picture, i've set up a Gravatar I just need to change the settings on my wordpress dashbo

thanks guys!

Looks like you have some help. :)

You have two options:
1. In your dashboard go to Users-> All Users and change your email address to the same one you used on Gravatar.
2. Add a new user with admin privileges and a username of your choice. Use your Gravatar email address for the new user. Make sure that you have a very strong password so your website doesn't get hacked.
Then every time you log in you will see your avatar in your dashboard. ~Marion

The Gravatar is associated with the email address that your main user is using.

From a security standpoint you should change the user. Actually, you should create a new user that isn't admin.
