Power
& Scalability |
|
It is commonly known that bulletin board programs require a lot of horsepower
to support a large audience of users. Ideal BB.NET is one of the most
powerful bulletin board programs and it can grow to meet an audience of
unlimited users.
Power is extremely important when traffic to your web site spikes. For
example, if you do a mass email campaign for a special event, and your web
site gets a 90% increase in traffic, you will want your bulletin board to be
able to handle that. Our product is designed to be able to meet these
kinds of challenges so that your users will be able to take part in the
bulletin board and your event will succeed.

Hosting
Capabilities |
|
Ideal BB.NET can provide you with an unlimited number of bulletin boards from a
single install. This means that it is now easier than ever to offer
bulletin board services to your customers.
When hosting thousands of bulletin boards, it becomes much more cost effective
to provide this type of hosting from a single install. When you push
a new upgrade to the board, all of your boards recieve that same upgrade.
You do not need to apply the update to each board individually. This
saves a lot of time and money and simplifies the whole upgrade
process.
Ideal BB.NET can also set limits on each board. For example, you can
restrict the number of posts or the maximum number of users on each
board. Using our API, you can easily create new boards and or close down
a board. This makes it very easy to build a fully automated hosting
solution around our product.
-
