my friend and I recently bought Wordpress business and we thought that we would be allowed access to create multiple websites with premium themes and other benefits however it seems as though we can only have access to the themes for one year which is very confusing. Is there a way in which we could make websites for clients on this one site plan and the move it to th client's host and start out site from scratch for the next client?
The Wordpress people are not available to schedule a meeting with us until the end of the year sadly.
Thank you
Your best bet is to purchase some hosting and setup subdomains for your client's with the free download you get from wordpress.org.
I use a resseller account for my clients and have zero problems!
Hope this helps

I am looking to start selling websites by being able to generate clean WP installations without having to worry about the server side.
I there a service that is optimal for this?
I want to easily be able to create clean WP installations and start workign on building websites for my customers maybe even create a woocommerce stores, I'm mostly concerned about finding a platform that allows me to easily manage this and in a way I can charge customers a predictable price and limit storage usage or traffic per site depending on serve capabilities.
Many hosting providers like hostgator, bluehost offer one click script installation option in their Cpanel. You just need to login and choose what script you want to install(wordpress, drupal ...etc)
Web newbie. I'm setting up a family website for sharing photos, etc. I plan to purchase my own domain name and will rent space on some hosting platform. I'm thinking ahead and will eventually want to create two more websites (another family website for my father's side of the family and a personal one for me). The frugal side of me would like to limit the number of domains and hosts I have to purchase/rent.
I want the family websites to be hidden as much as possible (no SEO and requiring a login just to get to the main page), but I want my personal website to be public.
So far, what I've read says the above is difficult or cumbersome to do with wordpress multisite. If this is true, then is it safe to assume separate wordpress installs are more appropriate? Or, should I consider a new/different domain for my personal website?
Thanks,
Jim
I would:
Buy one domain example.com
Buy one hosting (shared or VPS if you have the skills)
Create multiple independent Wordpress, and use subdomain site1.example.com, site2.example.com
protect some websites with Htaccess (some free plugin may also do the trick, but with htaccess you are sure Crawler (like Google) won't access it.
There is a plugin called My private site which allows you to achieve what you are looking for:

101 for website and ftp: Do anyone know the best web hosting site for a beginner? Do ATT u-verse offer web hosting if you have their service?
I just want to keep this simple for a beginner. I have seen commercials on go daddy and googled to see google have something. Just need to upload files and put together a website. I used Yahoo business in the past while taking classes in 2005 on internet programming and ".net". I just checked the site today that I created. My .com is still up and running. It seems as though another company want me to move everything over as of November. And I also have a problem that need to be resolved by posting my file so others can view it to help me resolve my problem because you can't do attachments in posts. Here is what was said:
"..but may post a link (not shortened) to a site (no password/logon) that hosts a file..."
Thank you for your help in advance,

You have many options for web hosting providers. I offer web hosting through my company but to keep this unbiased these are two popular options for web hosting.
Godaddy is a very popular option for web hosting. You can get a shared server plan for about five dollars a month. They will give you FTP access to the server and even provide technical support in case you have any issues. Once you have the webhosting service account live you may change the nameservers to point to your server and then upload your website files to the www/username dir or the public_html/username dir.
AWS Free Tiers Option two is free if you do not use to much of the server resources. But if you go over it only charges you for what you use. AWS is a service through amazon that allows you to create instances of virtual private servers. It is a lot harder to configure but the tradeoff is that it is usually less expensive. Most of the time if you do not have a lot going on it is free.
FTP File Zilla is my favorite ftp. It is free and there are lots of resources online showing you how to use it. File Zilla Tutorial
If you are having problems with your current website please post a new question with a detailed description of the problem and an example of your doe as well as what you have tried to fix it. I am sure someone would be happy to help you.
I was using self-hosted wordpress for a while and now I want to move all posts, settings to my wordpress.com account. I mean I want create free wordpress hosted account and move all data from self-hosted account into it. Is that possible? if yes, how? please explain
Although this isn't the usual direction to move, WordPress has documented it here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/
Megatron, I've seen a few of your posts about this hack. Its an up-to-date Wordpress install with very few plugins. By the sounds of things (and I may well be wrong here), I doubt you have done a huge amount of customisation yourself which could have introduced a vulnerability.
It could well be your theme but frankly my money is on your hosts themselves. Wordpress is so prolific that when a hosting company running many shared servers gets hacked there are inevitably loads of Wordpress sites that get compromised as a result and Wordpress gets the blame. The hosting company certainly don't own up to it.
Before you go to .com, switch hosts. Clean install, plenty of guides out there on resurrecting a Wordpress site - you've said yourself on other threads the site is only a week old so it'll be very easy to do. My 2p.
I'm looking into building database driven websites based on opensource platforms in a sandbox area rather than having them accessible via the final URL until clients have paid up.
Is anyone aware of any problems this may cause with paths or functionality, or, know of any good articles on the subject?
many thanks
Shaun
There is no bad effect on functionality just because it is in sandbox. Generally, Joomla is almost location independent (untill and unless you are driving multiple websites from same joomla installation)
For security purpose secure the URL via .htaccess file (if more security required then setup a cron to update password every X hours, and email new details to user)
I would suggest having a cut-down, less privileged or demo account for signup users that can still enjoy the overall experience of your site without the full functionality of your killer-webapp services. "Restricting" them in a Sandbox area that is not even the actual site would not be as appealing and convincing as it could be for them to go from "freemium to premium" customers.
I develop all joomla sites on a local server and then upload to the production server once approved. In Joomla, when I upload the files to the production server, I usually need to change the mysql server as well and it can all be changed from the configuration.php file
