Elevated X is way overkill and WAY too expensive for our needs.

If you wish to have a Tube alike paysites, then Mechbunny is great.
If not, I have many clients simply using WordPress with an aMember plugin. WordPress is free, the plugin is around $100 and it does perfectly the job.

I believe DamianJ highly recommends PornCMS.
I am kidding in regards to DamianJ, however many people seem to have opted for PornCMS as a low cost alternative to ElevatedX. You do not read a lot of complaints about the platform despite the apparent number of users. I would say it's at least worth a look if you're shopping alternatives. Good luck on your search fine sire.Last edited by Barefootsies; 02-03-2014, 04:23 AM.Comment

There is definitely value in buying something battle tested. ElevatedX is robust and what most pay programs use. Konrad and MechBunny have been around forever as well, Mechbunny powers a number of many members areas and most tube sites out there. For those with no budget, Wordpress and plugins are always an option... Just going to be a lot of redoing work if/when it's outgrown.

What about security - let's say we have hackers waiting for our site to launch..circling like vultures...(we do)
Any security pros and cons to aMember - Mechbunny - PornCMS?
I know with WP it's absolutely essential that we are able to update as each new release is launched - concerned aMember might keep us locked in one version of WP while vulnerabilities are exploited.Last edited by NEW XTC; 02-03-2014, 06:33 AM.Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

the people that use pornCMS seem happy with it, but the sites do seem to look a bit amateurish, but if thats your niche then all good.
Worked with mb as a members area which for a vidsite works great, elevated x is nice but maybe too much, if its only something simple.
Only one I'd advise not to use is Adultsitecms, horrible to skin.Comment

if you are considering elevatedX, read this post about how they treat their customers. it represents what we hear all the time from eX customers looking to switch over to PornCMS:
http://gfy.com/showthread.php?p=19878621#post19878621
I wouldn't force install a flat/non-coded template file, even if the customer insisted. they obviously didn't understand the terminology and the eX support was too busy to hold his hand.
that being said, eX is not for people who need their hand held. PornCMS *IS* a cms for people who need their hand held, want good support - even on weekends, and don't want to overspend.
MechBunny is great and Konrad is highly skilled. i just worked with him on a couple projects. his script is well-built and stable if you want your paysite to look and run like a tube. the admin is solely built to run a tube. i've seen it repurposed for other types of sites and its very buggy. so if you choose MB, make sure you really want a tube site. oh and its $1000 (before customization) lol
Carma is not really a contender. it works about as well as NATS, which is to say, you will get a headache.
there's lots of threads about all of these scripts on gfy, including PornCMS. take a few minutes to use that 'search' form at the top of this page if you are serious about finding a solution. you can also email or skype me (contact info at the site) and i can give you all the dirt on my competitors lol

Works like a charmComment

this is an urban myth AJ from eX likes to spread around about other cms solutions. the truth is, any script can scale if you have the right programmers and server admins to get it done. and if you are scaling, then you have the cash to afford it.
we have sites that have thousands of videos and loadbalance over several servers. i'm not sure if that is below this mythical 'outgrow' bar?
the default template is just a simple one, and its good for (as you say), amateurs that can't afford a better design. a majority of site owners have a design created by a pro designer and then either install it themselves (our template system is php, not smarty like most others) or use our $600 template install service. here's some sites we've installed in the last few months (we do 5-10 custom projects a month):
http://www.brokemodel.com/
http://www.thugzrus.com/
http://www.cosplaybabes.xxx/
and here's a site that modified the default template and is doing big numbers (over 100 new sales a day):

Should throw awiz into the mix too. Okay it's a bit ugly to start with and you need to spend some time bashing it into shape. But on the plus side, its a single payment, you can run multiple sites off a single install, forus always provides good support and his script works.Rob | Britsexcash.com | @splatbukkake | Skype: BritSexCashComment

I have no CMS to sell so I am free to give you a few advices... Regarding WordPress and aMember... Why don't you have a chat with the guys over at aMember regarding your security concern?
The main issue with some CMS that were mentioned here, is that once installed, they are so unflexible that it is impossible to install and run anything else on your server. The owner will promise you the moon before it is installed however, once on your server, you are stuck with it.
There is over 100 sponsors using Sliiing at this moment. I would say half of them is using WordPress...Sell our Silicone Dolls and make big money!

This is true but for sites that update regularly and want dynamic tours that reflect what's in the members area, both recent and current content and coming soon a CMS makes things much easier and is worth the time and money spent before the site launches. I rotate content in and out of my sites, it would be a small nightmare doing it manually.

My opinion on the subject is you should get the right tool for the job. WP was not built to be an adult cms. it doesn't do content management or video conversions and payment processing isn't native. with WP, you simply post as you would a blog. for close to similar money (ie you still have to host WP), you can get a hosted PornCMS account that has everything you need to run a porn site. starts at $29 a month.

Agreed. Wordpress isn't designed as a CMS, and the one Wordpress `conversion` I trialled for a while was horrible to use.Rob | Britsexcash.com | @splatbukkake | Skype: BritSexCashComment

I think Mech Bunny is perfect, you got drop-in integration with Nats, and its pretty much hassle free. The only downside is that it's obviously designed to handle a large volume of content and if you only have a little bit in your members area it can make it pretty obvious that your library isn't huge.- As soon as I think up a good sig it's going here.Comment
-
Agreed - and thank you for pointing this out. I did not consider this aspect.
I have one of my employees 'manually' rotating content weekly but that's because the Mem Areas are on a standard template and it's (relatively) easy, plus the idea of migrating existing mem areas into a CMS (for 32+ paysites) seems like a friggin' nightmare. LOLMy Affiliate Programs:

Those are good systems though.
Battle tested is the key!
I would have gone Elevated X, but I thought it costed too much. I think its a solid system. And if I had the money and was working on a big project, for sue Elevated X.
But on my little projects me and my partner went custom. The price and the control, seemed to win out in my book. especially when Im the one cutting out the checks.
If there was some kind of reasonable deal with Elevated X, I would have used that system. It has everything a new company would like to use and everything a company would want to use in the future. Also I do know they have excellent customer service. This is from good friends of mine that use it.
In the future, if I were to be contacted By Elevated X, I would have a good trade out deal for them. Hint, hint, hint!
I do shoot every single big name girl in the industry, I run shoot and AVNLive.com and I have control of all of the AVN.com social media accounts: "almost a Million followers". hint, hint, hint. lol

You would have to be VERY 'serious' about it and have the bankroll to go the distance.
I have developed my own CMS's over 15 years working online from small to large. If you're going this route, you need time, patience, and cash. It will rarely go smoothly, and there will be a lot of modules you need to add on over time. It's not to say it's not some level of rewarding, but it's a lot of work and can be very costly depending on the size of it. I've done 10-12 of them now, and I can speak from bitter experience.

I am not sure what your 15 year reference has to do with 'a long time ago'. I have been in this industry for 15 plus years now, and I have developed probably a good 10 CMS scripts, and I do not know how many others for various uses over that time. While I am happy I did it, I do not think any ran smoothly no matter the developer.
That being said, if you found your experience rewarding, bravo. I am simply saying making this sort of time, patience, money investment should not be taken lightly by most people.

Porn CMS works great for me hosted on Mojohost
I use Porn CMS for my site brokemodel.com and I use Mojohost as my dedicated. I had constant issues with Cavecreek messing up my CMS but since I have switched to Mojohost i have had no problems. I would not recommend using any CMS with cavecreek!
Highly Recommend Porncms.com the software and service that comes with it is top notch. It does everything the other software does at 1/10th the price.
It is easy to use but give you a great detail of how you can change anything you want, and has integrated affiliate software.
It makes no sense to spend 10k on software for a site when that would be better spent on content and marketing of it.Check out my site www.brokemodel.com

I recommend you contact [email protected] and get a Webex demo of MAS CMS. Extremely efficient, not bloated but with all the features you need. Very easy to use template system that work with ANY design you would want to use. Priced competitively, and the ONLY module you might want extra (all the rest is included) is our Video Transcoder Module.

MAS has been powering thousands and thousands of sites for over a decade, so you will not find anyone out there that has more experience than the MAS team.
Also, we include setup of the first site 100% for you for free. This alone is valued at $700-$1500 depending on the complexity of your site. You really cant beat it.Around since 1997, and the company that introduced "Cascading Billing" in MPA3® Affiliate Management and Tracking Software
